New Members - Excited, Nervous and Overwhelmed!

Live your dreams. Few among us are the "boring" stereotypical 2.5 kids, etc.

If you have taken care of "responsibilities" then enjoy the journey.

Life is not meant to be lived vicariously, rather, that I slide up at the Pearly Gates totally worn out and smoldering from re-entry and greet St. Peter with the words, "Wow! What a ride!!!!"

82 for women, 79 for guys. You've got some time left.

Also, don't forget that's the average and takes into account all those people who pass on much sooner. If you've made it to 66, then you've got an excellent chance to make it well into your eighties.

CWF - Far be it for me to typify the 2.5 kids, white picket fence kinda gal. I've had others say they live vicariously through me! I've been a career changing, state (and country) hopping, spontaneous woman most of my life. My husband of a scant 8 months knew this ahead of time - boy am I blessed that he's ready to go on this ride with me...and what a ride it will be :-)

According to data compiled by the Social Security Administration:

* A man reaching age 65 today can expect to live, on average, until age 84.

* A woman turning age 65 today can expect to live, on average, until age 86.

And those are just averages. About one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 will live past age 95.
