[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow a pair. Surely with age comes at least a bit of wisdom?  I'm 54 and am more active now that the kids are out of the house than I have been in years. We both run several times a week, exercise, ski in the winter, kayak, sail, etc. We travel frequently. Of course we also work hard and are doing very well. Not ready to be done quite yet and no reason you should be either. [/quote]
New poster here:Interesting. DH is about to turn 53 and we have three tweens to raise. We are counting on living until we are at least into our 70s so we can enjoy active retirement after kids finish college.

OP, since the average life expectancy for women is 81.2 years and for men is 76.4 years, you have many years left to have fun. There are more centenarians every day and you and DW could become two of them. You may well have 40+ years of life ahead, so plan to live long and healthy lives. Tell DW that she needs see a doctor about the weight and blood pressure and to cut back on salt and calories to prevent a lifetime on medications with nasty side effects. She may also need treatment for depression, but it's too early for the rocking chair.[/quote]
