My brother passed away when he was 58. His life was too short. Anyone passing away between 60 to 70 might be considered short by current standard. For those with medical condition such as myself, any life after 70 should be considered a bonus. I retired at 60 to enjoy life besides work and I am glad I was able to do this as it was another enjoyable different life style. I am on a 5 year plan and next year, I'll be 75. If or when I pass that threshold, I'll plan my life from 75 to 80. Having to buy a cemetery plot is one. To move permanently to TV is another. My only desire to live longer is to see my grandkids grow. I am satisfied with life I led both the ups and the downs. I would consider 85 to 90 too long though my father was quite active until his passing just short of 90. I am hoping I'll have a smile on my face whenever the time comes. As I said, after 70 was a bonus years for me.
