i often think about it. ideally i would be an assisted living community where someone can drive me to get groceries or to doctors appointments. but it gets pricey. medicaid sometimes will pick up the bill, i would lose all my assets, but it may be worth it. i don’t want to be driving when i get older, but hopefully i will be somewhat independent other than that.

Prior to covid19 I used to just get a taxi. I don’t drive due to concentration issues and rarely left the house anyway.

yeah i don’t think i will be going anywhere. but i would like to be able to take a walk to stay active. i guess delivery of groceries is another option. do taxi’s wait on you while you’re at the doctor? or do you just call another taxi when you’re done?

I’m not sure how much older I want to get. I’d like to live til 65. I may end up homeless.

When my parents die I will become homeless and stop my meds. I hope police will see me crazy and put me in permanent mental hospital for free.

Yeah still maintain a car. Not the easiest thing to do on the pension but it’s convenient and worth it.

ok so maybe i don’t need to end up in assisted living. uber or taxi’s for doctors appointments, and grocery delivery. problem solved.
o and i’ve seen the commercial where joe namath is talking about rides to medical appointments. i think it’s a medicare commercial for seniors.

Honestly, thinking about my future drives me crazy. I could pretty much stay where I am and do what I’ve been doing for extra scratch the past 6 or 7 years until I’m dead. As long as society doesn’t collapse in the meantime. Makes me feel like I’m going to be stuck in the same stagnant predetermined loop for the next 30 to 40 odd years. I’ve seen enough tv and movies, played enough video games for one lifetime haha. After a while you start seeing the same reskinned stories/mechanics with fresh faces and new paint. I need to start doing some more creative stuff with my time lol.

I’m not worried about getting older. I’m getting my Fender a Telecaster modded and soon I’ll be buying another amp. Checking off the ■■■■ on my to do list. And me and my GF will be paying off a bunch of our credit debt soon.
Happier than I’ve ever been, looking forward to the next 20 years with my Luv.

I don’t give much thought to it. I’m older now (60).
What I’m going to do in the immediate future (next 6 months) I’m going on a plane trip to Indiana to visit my niece and her family. And also take a Fall bus tour to the New England states and Ontario, Canada.

This is a very good question. Especailly since I am almost 50. For me I would like to be beside my girl the rest of my life, and die in my sleep next to her, but if i become fraile i would got to assisted living and possible she would come with me and id chase her while in my walker or wheel chair.

I’m scared of when I’m older because your body and metabolism changes and processes meds differently. What worked for you when you were young may be not good for you when you’re older, and being on multiple medications can cause a lot of complications for the elderly. And what happens if I get dementia like all the women in my family have eventually and can’t speak out for myself about my meds anymore? It all scares me.
