Mr Derek Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I think we've entered the age of mortality at 60. That's scary enough, but if you haven't done all the stuff you wanted to do by then, they you had better have a good excuse. I always thought that 66 was the age-at-which-you-couldn't-argue - as I took to be age that Hemingway had had enough. Then I discovered that Hem died aged 61. ????

ChaiyaTH Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Why scared? 1 out of 4 guys dies before 65. Retirement age has always been based one expecting a good percentage to die just around it, sadly enough.

Yah by age 60 one is likely to be attending more funerals and fewer weddings, but I don't agree that one's list of things they want to do ought to be all accomplished by then. Although this is the age of increasing mortality rates, a 60-year old in good health can still expect to live another 30 years or so on average. And this is a chapter where if one has applied their efforts and avoided too many pitfalls in their youth, they now enjoy more time, more money, broader life perspective gained from their experiences, relationships built (or exited if negative), maturity and self-knowledge. One's 60s can be a wonderful chapter with many years yet before health and physical limitations become more than minor annoyances. I think all of us have met people in their 80s and 90s who, through a combination of luck and good choices, are at the happiest points in their lives. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been a drug overdose or shooting that would be an un natural cause. 70 is the new middle age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
