I have no expectations as to my longevity. Martha has all those details worked out, so I needn't concern myself with such things.
I hope she's gentle and you never know what hit ya!

I don't think too much about my longevity. Auntie is 98, another is 92, my dad is 90 and my mom is 84. So, based on that, you would think I'd be around for awhile. But as a couple of peeps above have stated, you can't count on the numbers. Live and enjoy every day!!

May you live as long as you want to and want to as long as you live....

I've just been doing some research in anticipation of taking out a term life insurance policy which will pay off a reverse mortgage. It seems all of my cousins lived longer than their parents or are well on their way to that statistic.

Such is my goal as well, though I feel I'm far too evil to achieve it. I'm 68.5; should I buy a fifteen or twenty year policy? It's said God has a sense of humor. Dad lived to 78, mom 77.

Puzzled in Milton,
Gerry

Hey Big G, where have you been? I was delighted to see your name pop up. Welcome back, I hope. Your humor was missed.

I'm making deer suits. Hunting is big around here and in other areas, obviously. Said deer suit will be sold to someone who is "ready to go" on their own terms. Put it on, head into the woods during hunting season, and it's over. The suits will come complete with a note in a pocket absolving the hunter of all liability/guilt.

Now these suits won't exactly be able to be dry cleaned after use, so I expect to sell quite a few prior to needing one myself.

I've made mention of this plan to family members and I think I have a few takers already.

This is my plan unless Jerry wants to sell me some of his little green pills?
Please put me on the list, delivery expected in 2035. Please send one women's size medium immediately, never know when we might need that one

I figure that as long as I keep picking the mushrooms off the pizza I'll be fine.

Hey Lain, I also have a 43-year-old Singer sewing machine too that I can dust off to help a sista out.

Hmmm, term life, at your age? That premium must be pretty igh? What will it cost you per year for the amount of coverage needed to pay off the reverse mortgage? And why do you want to pay off the reverse mortgage anyway?
