Quite possibly. Even if they were still in good health at 150. There would probably be a few who were still going strong mentally at 3000, though.

Long lifespans would certainly change the calculus of life. Retire at 65? How? Who make all the goodies you want since soon almost everyone is 65?
Retirement at 125 with a 150-year lifespan?
What if life can be extended into the thousands of years? Never retire? Periodic repeating retirement when you accumulate funds to finance it for a while?
