Age chart

Age Chart and life expectancy...

Okay... You have an 81.7% of reaching age 70.
Good odds... Almost there. But... Basically 1 of 5 people your age are dead. 

You have a 63.7% chance of reaching age 80.
Still pretty good odds. 2 out if 3 make it. 36% do not. Be healthier... diet & activity.

Estimate... 45% make it to 85 years old. 
Still... Not to bad. Take care of yourself. Hopefully with sound mind and relatively good health.

And a 31.3% chance of teaching 90.
Only 1 out of 3 live this long. 68% are dead. 2 out of 3 friends you grew up with are now dead. 


However, only a 4.3% will live to 100 years old. 
Not sure I'd really want to live that long. ONLY 4 OUT OF 100 LIVE THIS LONG.
Everyone you knew is long dead.  Everything has drastically changed. 
And the world and everything in it has passed you by and left you behind. 


Not that I dwell on it... But occasionally think about it. 
I guess there's a couple ways to go, aside from an accident. 

Long term sickness and suffering followed by death.
THIS REALLY DOESN'T SOUND TOO GOOD. Suffering for years.  

Your mind is mostly gone... So you are unaware and don't care. 
At the mercy of others for you care. NOT A GOOD OPTION. 

Or... basically healthy and have a sudden physical episode causing a quick death. My grandfather lived a basically healthy life to 86 years old. Suddenly had a stroke and died in 2 days. 

So,  if you live a long life, pretty good until the end, and when your time is up... Does it come as a shock?  Like..  oh shit! This is it?  Knowing you are closer to the end than the beginning... But it still comes as a shocking surprise? Oh Shit... I'm going to die.  ... IDOENO.  

Another thought... Maybe it's better the not think about longevity at all.  Like... Never tell me the odds. Kinda goes along with... I never ask myself if I can do it until after I've done it. Of course the answer is... sure I can. Or you fell victim  to a premature accidental death doing something foolish. So... Maybe your should carefully consider if, our how to do something, before actually doing it. While all the time considering that you 70 year old mind still sees you as physically being 40... And sorry to say... You are not... So think about things a second time. Everything physical, or with moving parts,  or involving ladders require a second thought. 

Just something to think about... Our maybe not. 
Of course,  you've already read this, so maybe it too late now.
It's already stuck in your head like a bad song. 
Like... "Its a small world". Our if you have great grand kids... "baby shark... do,do,do... do ta do." 

The most important thing...
Like the song...
Don't worry... be happy ☺. 

Y'all have a great day.
