Reply to: What's your lifestyle like?

If I can't eat it, drink it, fly it or feck it, I'm not interested.

The thing is, 65 is not that old now, it is likely people (especially those will money) will soon be living to >100 as norm.

IR43 Sas. I may change my mind, but my main fear in life is rotting away slowly, house bound and incontinent.

I'm with you on that one LG and I'm nearly 40. Why do people want to preserve themselves and their wealth when you will end up with some chav wiping your arse and the government making you pay for it.

Saying that I eat fairly healthy as I enjoy fruit and veg and work out occasionaly but only so I can stay fit enough for 5 a side and hillwalking etc.

I drink too much but not in binge way except the odd night in Leeds with a fellow subby when we go a blow half a weeks wages in one night.

Life is for living, but you are more likely to enjoy if you stay healthy.

Let's face it - if anybody here cared about the effects of their lifestyle upon their health, they'd have moved on long ago from a job where "physical exertion" entails getting up to go to the bog 3-4 times a day or going outside for a smoke or two...

At 65 you should be in death prep mode.... give all assets to the next generation, pre-pay funeral costs, look back on your life and value your achievements.... and prepare to meet your maker
'cos even with viagra - you won't be able or willing to do the things you really want to do

Wrong. Everyone in my family lives to their 90s. My dad is 68, plays tennis every weekend, travels abroad twice a year and is generally in fine fettle.

life style not good at moment, I like a smoke , but do run, did marathon. Work to long including overnight calls out, had earnt alot of cash but worthless when dead, going to start cutting back

No but I hope to have a healthier middle-old age. I know now that my mental age won't change when I'm 65 and I'd like my body to be reasonably in shape to do what I want to do.

Nobody said life has to be a distance event!

There is no point being the richest person in the graveyard, as someone once posted on here. Bogey I think it was.

[sasguru]

No.

It's just so boring that it feels like it...

HTH.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that ....

[sasguru]

.. and by doing all of this you will then live forever ?

My philosophy is you can cope with anything in life if you have your health.

Therefore:

Smoking: Quit
Drinking: Moderated but still too much. Weekend binge drinker.
Eating: Very healthy (always liked fruit and veg)
Weight: Normal for height
Exercise: 3 times a week - running, squash, tennis

Anyone else?

More likely to do that with an unhealthy lifestyle. All you have to do is replace bad habits with different fun ones e.g. give up smoking -> use the extra cash for an extra skiing holiday.

Ah but you won't feel like that as you get older. I think the thing to do is to be a complete hedonist till you're 35 (really give it some and get it out of your system), then ease off the pedal ...
