Of these two choices, which is worse: live to be twice your current age with enough money to enjoy comfort and style but have aging problems

commiserate with your age, or live to be twice your current age with the best physical condition you've ever been in from now until death, but be destitute financially from today to the end of your life?

    Lets make this simpler. Rich and in poor health or poor in good health. I choose poor in good health. A healthy body is priceless. Just ask people who are dying. This post was edited by O-uknow at December 11, 2017 10:38 PM MST

    COMMENSURATE, not commiserate.  I choose healthy but poor.  Quality of life is more important than quantity.

  • How destitute would I be? Are we talking homeless? Healthy as can be but living under a tarp? Or a falling apart trailer with no utilities? Hard call, this will take some thought.
