    Default Are we all gonna live past 90?

    Taken from cpf web:

    "Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. For Singaporeans who are aged 65 today, about half of them are expected to live beyond 85, and a third are expected to live beyond 90. Future retirees, including those who will be turning 65 in the next few years are expected to live even longer."

    Thanks but no thanks...

    "Expected" is vague. Which percentile? 90th percentile, 70th percentile or 50th percentile? Maybe euthanasia will be allowed when the day comes. I do not wish to live too long as well, especially if I have dementia and my kid has plans to dump me at nursing homes.

    It is stupid.

    At the age of 85, how many can still walk? If I want to see the world after my retirement, shouldn't I be given this freedom to do so? After all, it is my own money.
