MQ in the US the stats from a geriatric epidemiology course I took at John Hopkins are as follows: In the US if you are Independent and 85 years old, within 2 years 50% of those people will have a major impairment in their ability to live independently.Have you ever seen an 85 year old laying on the side of the road? The government will take care of you.The quality of your life will likely suck one way or the other.I work as a physician in Nursing Homes. Do not plan for life after 85 years of age.Let what comes come.I have worked enough.I am in my early 50s and am dropping all work other than that I enjoy and keeps me intellectually sharp. .I will continue to give and work for charities that take care of the truely needy.Getting people to save for life after age 80-85 is just denial or one more lie we are told.One must be able to transition from work to leisure.Once there if you choose to return to work it will be more enjoyable
