I will die an old, old lady, well over 90, hopefully wise, preferably in good health and blissfully content with my life. I would die happily a year after swimming across the bay of my native city; nine months after driving all across my small island, savoring every sunrise, every sunset, each flowered "flamboyan" tree on the road, the fog surrounding my rainforest as I climb higher up in my cozy VW bug; six months after taking an early morning sail, bordering the south-easternmost tip where the mountain range abruptly drops into the sea, and wondering as I always have at how that same range climbs steadily up again out of the waves forming yet another island; three months after spending a week or two with old friends gathering coffee beans in an old "hacienda", and bathing in the cool water of the river that borders the land; and a couple of hours after climbing up the familiar branches of the old centurian that stands proudly at the top of the fortress wall, greeting the memory of the people I've known, the places I've been, the loves I've lived, then and only then will I close my eyes, feel the salty breeze on my face, and leave with the last rays of the sunset.

Wow cool question! how do you choose the age when you die? its almost like being in a casino and playing a slot machine. you win some money but you want to see if you can win some more. you keep playing and then eventually lose your entire buy-in
At what point has life ceased to be socially and econimically profitable? (fun) when do you walk away?
In my experience I have found that its best to walk away before you've spent you're rent money. to make the life analogy walk away before you are a burden to your children or society. whatever age that may come at.

200. Just not with the consequences of old age. With a long life, I want to experience it all the way. Plus, you never know what will happen in the next century.

I have one wish and that is that I am pleasing in the sight of God. I would hope that all of my personal business would be completed. If I have accomplished what the Lord has chosen for this mortal to do, I will be satisfied at my homegoing. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.
