What worries you the most about (your) old age? Why?

having to rely on others to take care of me, like in a nursing home

Nothing worries me, only I know I may have only 30 yrs left if I'm lucky, that would make me 95, my mother lived to be 100 & 3 months, all of her brothers lived well into their late 90's, so unless I get run over or something, I may live that long., but since I never had children it may be a very lonely life, no one to take care of me. Oh well enough of the pity party, life is good now. Hope you have a great day.

At times I feel Older than I actually am then days I feel regular age,I miss the being in 20's but then if I was in my 20's I wouldn't be a Uncle wich I happily am 6 times over 7 come next march..

and thats one thing I would never give up.

I'm 67 and the thing that worries me the most is the possibility of Alzheimmers Disease followed by Parkinsonism... I'd prefer to die right now than have either of those 2 afflictions.

My answer is very different from all the others. What I worry about most is not having enough money to support myself and then I have to work until I die.

I am 59 today! That does not bother me. Next year might, but I accept that I have physical limitations that come with age. Oh, to be 18 again!

What worries me the most is whether or not I'll live through it. Why? Because the odds are pretty slim.

Alzheimer's runs in my family. I worry about coming down with it. But not too much. I can only do so much.

Sometimes I feel like life is passing me by and that I need to share it with someone.

Nothing at all. I'm not going to be this way for ever. You can't say the same.
