At nearly 83 life, is beginning to have substantially more trials and tribulations.^^^^^
Not to rain on your parade or otherwise dash your hopes and wishes:
You might want to revisit these sentiments after age of say.....65.
Once the aches, pains and other ravages of aging begin to set in.....you'll find it tends to 'temper' any wishes to outlive a Giant Sequoia.
Typically, things get a little worse with each passing year (not better). Speaking only for myself (age 69) I am pretty sure I don't want to live to be 100.
Having a 'long life' doesn't mean you had a 'good' life. Always endeavor to have a 'good' life and leave your life span to chance.
The IRS won't like that of course, but who cares what they think, right?
Great advice for the youngsters!^^^^^

To reach 65 I’d have to go back in time almost 12 years!
I guess I’ve been lucky as the aches, pains and other things that many people complain about when they get older haven’t set in on me yet. I hesitate to say that though, because no way to know what tomorrow will bring.
I certainly have noticed that I’m not as strong as I used to be though. Not that I was ever that strong, but less now.

The reality is that I was nearly 78 five years ago, and mostly capable of doing anything I wanted to do.
Approaching 83 now, the differences are sadly startling!
