".... a healthy 60‑year‑old woman today has more than a 50% chance of living to 90 and roughly a one‑in‑three chance of reaching 95; men aren't far behind...."   

I was guessing 83. That was/is my plan. I don't know where or when I arrived at that number.


Our system was designed for shorter lives.  Young people can't afford to buy houses, old people can't afford to sell houses.

If I'm ever faced with an enormously expensive medical crisis, I'm going to have to solve it with a bullet. That's better than letting the state take everything we have because hospital stays are 100k a week.

I had to call Florida paramedics from my house in Michigan and get on a plane. When I got there, there was a bootprint on the door where the cop kicked it open because my dad was refusing medical treatment after having a stroke. 8 grand for a medical plane to bring him back to Michigan so he could take his last breath in his own bed.  That wasn't too bad..... My mom outlived him by 25 years....THAT was expensive....assisted living and then the "memory unit" - which is a house of horrors.  That's not for me.
