When I'm 80 what will matter to me the most is if I'm leaving comfortably. If I can afford to buy my medications, if I can afford for someone to look after me, if I can afford to pay for my hospital bill. That's is why right now I'm saving up for my future because I want to leave in comfort.

HI santos mari chris: I think that's a really interesting question. When I'd be 80 I think that peace would be what will matter most: I mean to be in a relaxed place where I can be visited my grandchildren and family, to havbe the stability to pass my days just enjoying the nature and to take my medications.

Some of the women from my family suffered from dementia when they were in their 80's, and that is something that I hope that I would be able to avoid. if I become 80 years old, I hope that I will still be able to remember who my family is and remember the things that happened earlier in my life. I hope that I will still be able to be independent and make my own decisions, that is one of the most important things to me. I also hope that I would still be able to enjoy my life without a lot of physical illnesses.

That would be a feat to reach this age and still care about the world and ll that matters in life. i would have to say that my children would be foremost in my concerns no matter what age i would become.

I think being able to tell good stories and know I have lived life and done everything I have wanted to do will matter the most to me. I will want to be comfortable at that point but I will not care about having a lot of money because at that age, you are not able to do the fun things you can do when you are younger. I will enjoy telling stories and good experiences and hopefully have a lot of wise advice for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
