What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
I decided to go *for LONG LIFE*, around 1991, having turned 50:
Health, a healthy lifestyle, nutrition, and studying and practicing alternative/holistic medicine.
So: taking a conscious decision is choice. Also when it comes to WISHING to live a long life, and that decision/choice can be taken by every YOUNG adult.
Most people still *young* have the privilege of *being young* PHYSICALLY. The older you get the more *wear and tear* is the AGING process. So: knowledge how to slow *normal* aging (called ANTI-AGING) down would be the first step. With OR without an experienced *anti-aging* therapist. Lots of *tools* are available, certainly online, for DO-IT-YOURSELF: such as: diet, life-style, meditation, balancing, reflexology and educational courses. (to name a few only)
_________________________________________________NOTE: some folks: going for 40,50,60,70, FEEL their lives are not worth living, for xx and x numbers of reasons. Some have good reasons to feel like this, and others – at least in someone else’s opinion – have not (say: they have a permanent negative approach to life)
So each individual is different, and every *age* has its charms. 😆🌟
However: *after 80* – psychologically, you just KNOW by normal standards, beliefs and statistics: you have less years ahead than behind you. THAT IS A FACT!!
However, once you did turn 80: that milestone can be *depressing*!! Many people you once knew are gone, and also many places you once visited have changed dramatically, and NOT for the better.
AND THE HUGE CROWDS, at airports, and visiting places.
Those awarenesses, FACTS, realities can be really *depressing*!!
(I *suffer* from that myself! sometimes: I don’t want to go there, I want to *remember* how it LOVELY, beautiful it used to be)

Anyway: Quality of life: helps! Money too. But it is a complicated topic.🙈
