When I am eighty, I hope that I still have the mental vigor of my current self but with the wisdom and grace that another sixty years of life will bring. Ideally, I’ll be living in a townhouse in a large city, married with several animals and that with the benefit of technology, my friends and family will remain relatively accessible. Hopefully, I can age in place, aided by robots and other new technological developments. Regarding my career, I hope to still be working, albeit at a slower pace, mostly focusing on consulting and maybe working with some philanthropy, since hopefully, I won’t need a career as I will have enough money saved away from my job and investments. I hope I can still be active; some people I know are in their 90s and I still see them at dancing events and are still dancing. I especially want to be able to still be strong enough to stay on my feet for several hours and cook which involves lifting heavy pots and cast irons pans. In order to succeed, I will need to stay in physical shape, as that is correlated with strong cognitive abilities in one’s later years, and I will also need to go to school and get a well-paying job to be able to afford the lifestyle of relative relaxation as a senior citizen.
