My life expectancy is rounded to 88 years. Will check in in another 50 and we’ll see. Late 80s is way beyond the average for my predecessors.

Re: “My life expectancy is rounded to 88 years.”

Mine rounds to 89.

If you live to age 70 in good health, your average age of death is usually at least 85.

I am a life long runner, and I have long lived family members, so 89 is plausible.

Unfortunately, every family member I have (had) who lived past 90 had clear symptoms of dementia.

That definitely worries me.

What good is a long life if you cannot manage your own affairs and cannot recognize the people who love you?

Yes, but your predecessors didn't have access to 21st-century medical technology, did they? Time (and medical science) marches on, after all!
