Bouncing a thread off a couple of posts in another section:
What do you consider "dying too young"?
When my GG-dad was born life expectancy was 40. He made it to 107.
For my Grandad 48, he made it to 62.
For my Dad it was 56, and he saw 81.
They each beat the numbers.
Most of us grow up and mature expecting to live a long life. We also prep, study and practice survival skills with our "right to life" and instinct for survival in mind. Do we have a number in mind or do we expect to live forever.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought "If I don't wake up tomorrow it was a good run!"?
Some of us are dealing with issues that will shorten our lives without proper meds/treatments, or that limit our physical abilities. Some of us are working with replacement parts or rebuilt hardware that needs periodic maintainance.
How does, or has, aging/sickness/injury worked into your planning?
