[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to focus more on what infirmity you’re trying to avoid rather than what age. My mom is 82 and flies all over the country alone to see her grandkids and takes guided tours abroad by herself. She’s in great health and living it up.[/quote] This. I know what I'm going to avoid and when I see signs (like dementia) or something happens (like wheelchair) I'm checking out. I feel very firm about this and I think it's going to be 60s for me. Which is why I want to retire now (in my 50s)! [/quote] Once you have dementia you won’t be able to make any rational decisions[/quote] My MIL was sharp as a tack and then she slipped in the bathroom and hit her head on the sink. She suffered a TBI and was had no short- or long-term memory until she died two years later in a bed and care home. [/quote]
