Just believe and a small percentage of you will certainly make it.

Ignore you are 70 and still renting, ignore that rules to enter are constantly changing.
Just believe, cause one day you will be so sick and close to the end that you will have to.

    The thing is, there’s no clear cutoff when you are so old that you become a burden.

    If you are unlucky, you might hit that at age 50. If you are lucky you might make it to 90 while being fully self-sufficient.

      It’s the unlucky part that terrifies me… i have seen people get old and forget everything, some of them family members, my grandfather lived to be 88 and his last days were spent having parts of his body just dying of and having to be cut off and then came slow painful organ failures, they were pumping him with so much morphine that he was just hallucinating and if i’m lucky i’ll go to sleep and my heart will just stop (low chance on my mother’s side) apparently it’s heart murmur type of thing but hasn’t shown itself yet, genetics are a bitch, also working till we die is kinda the direction the world is going towards so there might not be a point to plan for retirement either way.
