Personally, I'm against aging.

My paternal grandfather (died @ 87), great-grandfather (@ 93), great-grandmother (@ 94), great-uncle (@ 92), great-great uncle (@ 93) were all quite active until their very last year or two and they all died at home. In fact, with each of the males, they worked into their 90's when they had their cars taken away from them to keep them from coming into work (even though they "retired" at 70), except for my grandfather who died "prematurely" at 87. He was still coming to work every day but caught the flu and died two weeks later.

I'm hoping to dispose of my assets, stretch it out as long as possible and drain the system as much as I can. I figure it's the only way I'll get out what I'll have put in.
