Getting old...godd or bad?

[MMLMM]

The thought is, live a normal life to 90ish or be a millionaire, do crazy things and whatever whenever you want and die around 50ish...

I thought what the heck, a great lifestyle, and tons of fun until I was 50 doesn't sound bad....

EDIT: if I was married and have kids, I'd think different.

Saw this posted somewhere...something to think about....

This is something to think seriously about.

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests,
he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 60.)

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine, indulge in chocolate or coffee?'

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?

'I said, 'Not much.... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

'No,' I said.

He looked at me and said...
'Then, why do you even give a shit?'
