I know that old age can have it's benefits but I'm a person who'll possibly never get married or have/adopt kids and I don't have any friends to hang out with either (I don't want anymore friends either since I lost my 2 closest ones). My mom's 60 years old so she's only going to get older and eventually, she'll die. On top of that, I grew up without a father and I'm not close to my brothers. I'm only in my 20s now but when I turn 55, I want to just off myself. Bring my life to an end.

Don't tell me I'll "Change my mind" and "Oh, you're ignorant". No. I'm actually quite aware of the benefits and cons of old age and frankly, I don 't feel as if it's worth it. So no, I WON'T live beyond 55 and it's rude of you to think I'll have a "Change of heart" and live to my 60s and beyond. You don't know me better than I know myself so don't even try to act as if you do.

    Getting old is nicer than being old I assume.

    Sounds like a friend I had who said he wanted to die at 50 when he was 20. Now, after a few years, he has changed his mind. He was going through a phase.

    I can understand it completely, I hate the idea of not being in control of my life getting older and someone having to care for me. Is it not possible though that you might be in a different place in your life by your fifties? When you're young time goes on for ever, but seems to pass a lot faster the older you get. I know I don't have the same likes/dislikes/worries about things as I did when I was a child, or in my twenties. When I was 15 I never wanted to live past 30, but my life has taken a lot of different paths since then, some planned, some not. At the end of the day only you can say what's right for you.

    No matter what you say now, 30 years is a very long time and I'm pretty sure you haven't a clue who you will be, nor what you'll want in 30 years.
    I'm way beyond 55 and having a ball. I would have missed out on so much great fun, a young beautiful wife and these years of sailing in the Caribbean on our boat.
    I don't know you, that's true, but you don't know the future you at all, either.
    You should be a little less inclined to make silly statements about some distant future, and a lot more interested in having a great time getting there.

    On your 55th birthday, wait an extra day. Then keep procrastinating.

    Just like you, I dont want to get old. Id rather die at the the age of 50. I have few friends and I dont like children. Live your life, we dont know when we are going to die, maybe young and maybe old. Find friends, they will come at the right time and right place. Changing your own life is your choice. What will you do when you reach the age of 55? Suicide?
