I’ll be 88 in 2045. Just my luck... I will turn 65 the year Social Security goes bankrupt, and die the year before mankind becomes immortal.

“I’ll be 88 in 2045.”

Incidentally, I don’t think simple longevity means that you have good genetics. All that proves is that modern medicine is able to keep people with poor genes alive longer. It’s the kind of health you’re in that counts.

For example, go in a nursing home and see people with Alzheimer’s, people with walkers, etc. They’re the kind (IMO anyway) who probably would have died young before modern medicine.
