Would you like to live to a 100?

I don't think I want to like up to 100, I would prefer a fufilling life and do not want to be dependent on other, by the time, I am 80 plus, I would proably not mobile and the people around me need to help me to get around, then I do feel the point to life up to 100.

Well, i would only want to live until 100 if i could maintain my mobility and my mental functioning, without either i would want to die and it really wouldnt bother me what age this was at blessed be

The title, third age, sounds familiar, I may have read an article or something. Maybe the same e-mail you got. I plan on living to at least 100, I had very long lived family on my mom's side, even with bad habits. Dad's family lived pretty long as well. I have a healthier mindset, so I bet I make it.

I dont think that i want to live to be 100. Maybe years ago, I would have but society dont put much value on the elderly these days. It is sad as they have so much to offer. Society is quickly becoming a world of being disposable and I think that is including people. I see so many elderly people who are lonely because their families dont visit them anymore. I want to live only as long as I can care for myself and have my mind.

I would certainly want to live longer. Will surely check it out. Thanks for the posting.

No and never. If I'm assured my girls are well on their own and properly secured in their life, then I'm ready to face my maker. In the meantime, I'm just trying to enjoy life to the fullest. Impossible to do, though. But we lived anyway.

No I don't think I want to live that long unless I am still healthy and able to get around and do things on my own

A HEALTHY 100 yes, heck as long as you have your health and your mental wits I'd live to a zillion. It's once quality of life goes down hill I prefer not to keep going.

I don't know about that-- you would lose so amny friends on the way- but think of all the new inventions you could see - the only way i would want to live to be 100 is if my husband were there with me- otherwise no- i don't think so.

I don't think so. But as long I'd like to live as long as possibly, providing I'm reasonably healthy, and not reliant on others for care.

Since my grandmother is in her 90's and other family members have also made it into their 90's, there is at least a good chance that it could happen. I hope though that if it does, that I could be able to still care for myself. I wouldn't want to be a burden on those around me.

I would only want to live to 100 if I'm healthy. I don't want anyone to have to take care of me. I would love to see me great great grandchildren.

I know i don't want to live to be 100. As soon as I no longer have a quality life I want to die. I do not want to have to deal with chronic pain or chronic diseases. But that is my opinion for my life, I understand not everyone will share my opinion.

I think it would be incredible to live to that age. Imagine all the things you can witness? I love talking to my grandmother and how when she was so young they didn't even have televisions. Only the wealthy owned cars. She's witnessed televisions becoming household items, cars becoming a necessity (at least around most of the U.S.), air travel not only becoming common but easily affordable. She has lived through both world wars and the depression. I think of all the things we have now that we take for granted, and what things will be like 20 years from now, 40 years from, even 60 years from now (when i'll be getting close to 100). What kinds of things do we think are impossible now that we will have in the next several decades? I don't think my grandparents believed you could carry a phone with you the size of a deck of playing cards when they were my age.

Not as a lonely widow.

I wouldn't care as long as I was healthy. I would try to stay in shape as much as I could. and eat the right foods. My grandfather lived to be 102 yrs old.
