But man it's downhill fast from there. The 90s look like absolute shit. Just a bunch of people feeling pain all the time and watching their friends die. Their minds are slipping and the real unfortunate ones know it so they're just mad about it all the time.
I think I'd probably be fine checking out around 88. Kids would be in their mid 50s. Grandkids to/through college. I'm good at that point. Great Grandkids don't pay shit for attention to their great grandparents for the most part. Not gonna be much more traveling worth doing.
Gives me another 45 years. Yeah - that seems good.

When you are in your 40`s and 50`s death is still far away. When you get into your 50s and 60s, death is still far away. When you are in your 80`s and 90`s, you accept that death is coming......."just not today" LOL
The brain is all about self preservation because if you obsess with death, we would all go insane.
Ash Wednesday was last week. That is all about the reality of impending death.
