What do you think your life will be like when you are double your current age?

[Reecejackox 527]

Hopefully nearly retired

When you're 86 years old, you might as well do whatever you want to do. 

[Clawdeen 26,482]

I hope living out the rest of my days well.

[Ishmael 113]

I don't think 110 is in the cards for me...but if it is, I hope to still have all my marbles, still doing good writing. 

[ExplosionMare 28,586]

Just hope I'll have a sense of fulfillment and people around me that I care about.

[ZiggWheelsManning 16,299]

Living in the best retirement home with some prune juice.

I'd be dead by then.  There's no way I could live that long after living the life I have.

I’ll be 52, so probably so different that it’ll basically be incomprehensible compared to life right now.

From a 55 year old, I'd say that's a good guess. It's not entirely incomprehensible--hopefully you'll be more far-seeing, steadier, and less reactive. What you gain for overcoming obstacles and setbacks. But reading your subtext, you're also right.

I don’t know what will happen; all I can do is strive to ensure that at 40 years old I’m already living in another country, doing what I like and being a professional in my field.

[DubWolf 20,619]

I have no idea what it will be like. That is up to me and my opportunity like everybody else.

What do I think? Give me a year and I’ll maybe have a more defined answer  . Hopefully no more than that and hopefully hopefully much less than that.

Hopefully I’ll be living in my own house.

The younger generations have the rawest deal on that score.

I’d be around 68 and living in a house full of cats, sneezing my brains out because in my premature senility I forgot that I was allergic to cats. Otherwise I imagine things would be more or less the same. I don’t have any long term goals at this point and would be living vicariously through my children. I’d probably be a grandma (the fun kind that carries cupcakes in her purse and has no filter in public places).
