Do you ever feel like you aren’t going to live old ?
And you are ok with it ?

@PrestonJ That is SO TRUE.
When I was in my late 20's I thought I'd be lucky to make it to 30. When I was 30, I thought "40 is old, I'll never make it to 40." My 40's and 50's blew by in a big blur.... kids, college, new 'adventurous' jobs (start-ups with 60 hour weeks).... Then I woke-up one morning and thought...."Holy sh*t, I am old enough to retire." So I retired (semi, I guess) and have never been busier even though retirement means "every day is Saturday."
It is a nice feeling, just like being a teenager but cooler.... I have no debt, I get an allowance (Social Security check every month), I have a car that I can drive anywhere I want and my time is my own to do ANYTHING I want......
The downside is that you realize at some point that your circle of friends in getting much smaller each year due to their passing....

At 63, I’ve already outlived a lot of my friends. But I don’t think I’ll reach my parents’ ages.
My mother died this year at 89 and my father, still living, just turned 91. My mother survived cancer in her 70s but was otherwise healthy until the last couple of years of her life. Pop has always been healthy.
I have health problems now, and would rather not live to see them get worse.

Age 62 here. Always seem to think I'm a year older than i am. Mom lived to 98, dad to 68. I probably should retire but then what?
Update: a year later and I am retired following a layoff on May 3rd. I'm ok but there are others that were dependent on me that I can no longer assist financially and that weighs on me. Stay tuned and we'll see what happens next!

When you learn to accept the fact that life is one with no guarantees, you'll find it either sends you to the loony bin or free's your mind to live each day to it's fullest, because it's the one you are in.....somewhere along this un-scientific scale, you just might find relief.
Rock on.
Rock on.

I'm [i]already[/i] old. I'm fine with my [i]body[/i] dying, which is the only thing that will. Consciousness survives physical death, and in a glorious way. So yes, I'm [i]very[/i] okay with it.

I hate the empire of wage labor and climate catastrophe with endless war that's dying younger for NATO.

As a kid I never thought I'd live past 20. So I didn't plan for the future.

I asked a spirit if she’d prefer that life or the living , she said she preferred that life , I asked on an oujio board app.
