I'd like to go out peacefully in my sleep in my 90s like my grandfather did. I'd hate to go out screaming, horrified, and panicking like the people who were riding in his car with him.

This was just as funny as the version NoahAg posted above.

As long as I'm still hot. So maybe another 10 years or so.

Wait until you turn 35…

You can say that again.

Considering I am 51 with a (ooops) 5 year old, at the bare minimum, I want to at least make 70.

When people talk about when they want to die, they don't think about how they'll want to live. So many people live the last 10 to 20 years of their lives unable to do the things they hoped to do because they didn't take care of themselves when they had the chance. There's only so much you can do to prevent mental decline, but there's plenty you can do to prevent physical decline.

I was meeting the kindergarten teacher at 51. Now 68 with a 22 year old. It was awesome then and awesome now.

Shot by a jealous tsip husband when i am 99

Damn

Classmate I've known since 7th grade has ALS. He lives in North Carolina and has been wheelchair bound for years.

He was a really big and strong guy before.

Busted. Now EVERYONE knows I didn't read through an entire thread of desired death ages. But I somehow feel smarter for it.

I think you younger guys will adjust your number as you get older. I'm 68 and live in a golf retirement community. I'm on the younger end in my group of friends that plays golf 4 days a week. None are over 80 but several are pushing it. When I get out early there are people walking, heading to the pool, playing pickleball or tennis. For me and my friends life begins at retirement. Keep yourself active and the best is yet to come.

Life ends at retirement but I like your mentality

A friend of mine was diagnosed with ALS a few years ago, he said if he got to the point where he couldn't feed himself he would end it. He endured having to chop his food while he could still swallow, but wouldn't go as far as to get a feeding tube.

He flew from his home it Atlanta to a resort in New Mexico, did a medically assisted suicide and called it a day with his wife by his side. It might have been different if they had kids, but I think he did it right given his situation.

He was 53.

Wow.

I am sorry to hear this.

Working for Firestone would provide a whole new meaning to this.

Mind sharing your age? Oh and you're absolutely wrong.

Jesus had it pretty rough too, you know.

140. Shot in the back by a jealous husband and Morgan Freeman narrate it.

I'm going to wait till I see the Grim Reaper walking up my driveway, then I'll quickly switch my affiliation to democrat, because as long as you're voting regular, you can live up to 200 years!



















I'm kidding, of course. Better to be dead than a Democrat.

As long as I'm not a strain on my family, still have my senses, and can still move around, I want to live as long as I can. With all the new things being invented and discovered, there is always something new to learn or amaze me. I hope I live at least ling enough to see man land on Mars. I always joke that I want to be on the reviewing stand for the Class of 2077's Final Review. That would make me 122 at the time so I probably won't make it!

When I can no longer play 18, I'll be ready.

I'm ready when you are

It really depends on my physical and mental health.

I've seen my FIL deteriorate rapidly since the age of 63. He'll be 70 this year and I would never, ever want to live in the condition he's in. Multiple amputations, dementia, uncontrolled diabetes, untreated bi-polar, and addiction. It's pure misery for him and for us as his caregivers.

On the other hand, one of my grandmothers is 97 and lives completely independently. She's strong, healthy, and in excellent condition mentally. She still finds joy in her daily life and has close relationships with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I'm doing everything in my power to follow in my grandmother's footsteps in terms of taking care of my health as best as I possibly can. If it works out, I want to live as long as possible with the caveat that my children and grandchildren outlive me, obviously.

I want to die like my grandfather........peacefully, sleeping. Not like the three losers in his car who were screaming, crying and yelling "wake up you old fool, you're going to kill us all".

"Living without regret" is my mantra. I moved to Spain last October. Before you ask, I didn't run from anything, I ran to a lot of things. My kids were supportive of the move, of course. Now they have a landing spot in Europe and a great place to visit. I'm seeing a lot of of amazing cities and countries and enriching my life without an over-reliance on a bunch of stuff. I am able to do this because I didn't self-destruct in my earlier years, made some decent financial decisions, and retired early. When people asked me, "why?" my automatic response is, "why not?". Just something to ponder.
