I don't know about that. I'm pushing 50 years old and I'm tired. I'm very fortunate career wise and economically, but still the drum of unending responsibility marches on. There is already more to explore than I will ever possibly have time for. Things getting even faster sounds even more stressful.

We are trying to process endless news, 600 new TV shows and movies a year, and constant alerts on digital devices through a brain designed 250,000 years ago.

Even when things are generally enjoyable feeling like you are always behind and missing out is hard enough for 80 years let alone 500!

But if you had 500, think of all the TV shows you could catch up on! Lol.

On a more serious note, working until your 70 just to enjoy the last 10 years before you start getting frail, is kinda shitty. If we lived for 500 years, I could work till 80, and have enough retirement $$ to last the next 420 (heh). That would be like retiring at age 16 with a life span of 100. Imagine being able to retire at 16 and just enjoy the rest of your life to the fullest.

Dude whatever you are doing to make enough in the first 80 to retire for another 420, I want in!
