What is the best age to die ?

[UndertheOcean]

Too early is a drag , too old with no teeth , impaired mental abilities and frailty is no fun either. my vote goes for about 70-75. if you have not done what you are supposed to do on this Earth before you vamoose by that age you probably will never do it .

1. I live in Florida, in the very heart

of Geezerville. In these parts there is a bumper sticker that you see fairly frequently. It says "Live Long Enough to be a Problem to your Children."

Ah, words to live by ....

2. 80 - 85

After that most people really aren't functioning too well.

3. I said 90+

Because that's when most of my older relatives died.

Except my father who died at forty. But I've out lived him by many, many years, so I'll take 90+, as long as I am as healthy as the rest of my relatives who lived that long.

10. hey just curious but - I'm assuming they still had their marbles?

aw man, people in their 90's who still have their marbles RAAAAAAAWK

4. Older than my dad

5. The time when it's best for me to die.

Who knows? I think as long as I can read, keep myself clean and feed myself, I'd be happy to live for a long, long time.

6. Whenever dementia sets in or someone else has to wipe my ass for me.

Until then, I'm good.

7. A thousand.

Never.

Something like that.

8. my wife texted me a quote from one of her 92 yr-old patients last week:

"The only person who wants to see 100 is the 99-year-old."

9. My dear UndertheOcean!

The best age? When I'm good and ready!

My parents are still alive at 89 years, and 91 years...living independently too.

I hope to do as well as they are...

70-75 is way too young!

:P

11. I voted 90+ but I'll amend it to say that once the mind of an elderly

person is gone, there's little use in keeping the body going.

12. Well, you know the old adage:

Live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse.

13. I'm a slow learner, so I'm trying to live as long as possible.

I'm just worried the money's gonna run out. Probably gonna have to work until I'm 85 at this rate!

[azmouse]

14. As long as I'm reasonably healthy and not in constant pain I'm willing to stay alive.

Who knows at what age life becomes unbearable?

[WildEyedLiberal]

15. As long as I'm still all there mentally and I'm not in excruciating pain

As long as I can!
