Crap, wish I hadn't of looked. I've been telling everyone, "only 18 more and I'll be 100." I'm going to start buying good bourbon, instead of cheap bourbon.

The media is full of stories about how we are living longer. The newspaper stories always talk about the people who are living healthy comfortable lives in their 90s and 100s. Even posters on this board have got into the act and are always telling us that if you are a married couple in retirement there is a 50% chance one of you will live past 90 years old.
But how about you? How long do you expect to be alive in retirement? Do you plan to be healthy for most of your retirement years? Will you live longer than the typical life expectancy? (The Mid 80s for people who lived to age 62)
If you expect to live a long time in retirement and will be full of health and vigor how does this impact your bucket list? Will you postpone some of your bucket list because you expect to be able to do many of these things in 20-30 years?
I’m pretty healthy. My parents are 88 and 93. Still going. Grandfather lived to 96.
That said, who knows??? I am planning for a 30 year retirement, financially.
None of this impacts any “ bucket list” I might have.
I too am one that cares more about quality than quantity. At nearly 70, I am in pretty good health overall, but do suffer with various aches and pains due to injuries and back issues. The women on my father's side mostly lived until their 90s, grandmother until 103. But quality of life wasn't there at the end. My mother passed from lung cancer at age 58, my dad at 79 from aneurysm. I really don't think we can predict and frankly, I don't want to know.
Just want to enjoy whatever I have left and when the quality is not there anymore, I want to leave.

I can plan all I want. Life can decide to intervene at any moment.
I’m planning financially for 30 years which will be 90 yo. But let’s face it after 80 you’re traveling active lifestyle really drops off.
Hoping for a solid 15 years in retirement before I can’t go any longer.
