Nope, I don't want to be dependent on a bunch of people to have to wash me and dress me and feed me and have Medicaid steal my SS and Pension money.

Definitely...I think an ideal age for me to reach would be about 115. You mostly always hear about the seniors who become disabled or at some point need to rely on other people taking care of them, which is how a lot of these people wind up in the nursing homes...but I personally know of few people like that, both of my grandmothers are still living in their own homes at 89 and 92, and the younger one is still gardening and taking care of the dogs and works 5,000 piece puzzles and bakes and cooks and can do everything by herself even after falling off her roof and breaking both legs and not being able to bend one leg anymore, and my other grandmother has NO health problems whatsoever.
Outside of the family I've heard about a lot of people who remained independent and full of life right up to the end, most famously the Delany sisters who stayed home until they died at 105 and 108. On MSN today there's a story about a man who's finally retiring at 102, the world's oldest man died last week at 114 and retired from the the railroad at 98, and one Supreme Court judge is still working at 109.

I definitely wouldn't mind it. Provided that I still have a sane mind.

It's not a club I have my heart set on joining but if I'm like this guy? That'd be just fine.

Only if I am in good health, can still ride my bike around town (five miles to the movies) run a mile and not dependent on anyone or senile. Then yes.
But that is unlikely.
