What are you going to do when you become a senior?

[Socketosis]

I've seen this topic from time to time and am curious what people here think since this place has a relatively young age range.

[Vitaly]

Mentally I'm still 15 years old and I dont plan to change for the next 60 years.

[Jtrekkie]

A more interesting question is, will I be the same person when I am a senior? 30 years hence, every particle of my being will have been replaced, my mind will, presumably, have grown beyond my current understanding, even if not by as much as it has in the past 20, and I can't say that any of my friends or family would recognize me. So, if I must pause to wonder who will that future person be, how can I say what he shall do?

At a minimum, start cashing in on all those discounts.

Maybe by that time, there will be enough old furs, that even fur cons will offer a senior discount.

I fully intend to be a happy, crazy, old person that does whatever I please and then go out on my own terms ala Harold and Maude

OMG, that's an amazing film, definitely one of my favorites.

[GarthTheWereWolf]

Its a sweet little love story alright <; One of my top 10s.

[LazerMaster5]

I want to be the oldest guy in the mosh pit at metal shows.

[Spot]

Become a crotchety old grump yelling at children to get off my lawn and complaining to and about nurses and doctors about my various medications and health problems and their practices using me like I'm some type of lab-rat.

This might be your reality, folks! Better be good to people, because one day you will need them.

[Snagged]

Current status: Life is dependent on  meds

Future status: Either dead from some accident or I am still living on meds, moreso than now

gonna become a pirate.  not some lazy internet pirate; i'm gonna unhitch my houseboat and float around the swamp, stealing stuff from other houseboats and laughing like this: "yar-ar-ar-ar-arr" and then when i park the house again i can yell at kids to get off me lawn, arrr except i won't really have a lawn, but i won't know because i'm fucking senile.  and i'll get away with all of it because i'm cute and old and probably gonna die soon.

[LadyRadarEars]

I have contemplated all of these things since the era of mine education has been lost to the mists of time.

[Hux]

I will sit on my porch and lust after fat asses.

This is probably my favorite idea. Would love to read something like that in the news.

[ArielMT]

I'm going to live in a checkbox.

[DrGravitas]

Work on the things I want to, I guess. Manage whatever legacy or works I've managed to create in my life. Perpare for an orderly death and ensure whatever descendants I've hopefully had are taken care of and rightly benefit from my end with minimal hardship. That the cycle should rollover without transitional pain seems an ideal goal.

[Xaende]

Have my brain transplanted into a cute furry/cyborg body.

[Zaraphayx]

Post Good.

[SirRob]

When I am 60 I will still be mapping to murry morn, mark my words

[Vallium]

Pretend to have dementia around the kids but be reasonably well put together and sneak in smart, witty, snarky comments to troll the grandkids.

 

Also ride dirtbikes in walmart because fuck everything

[Vae]

Realistically, I probably won't live that long.

Idealistically, I'd just become more of a condescending asshole.

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

A wild guess, I'll die if I'm not dead before that. Old age tends to do that.

Y'all need to contact the History Channel, and do a reality show!

if that's not history, i dunno what is.

[Lopaw]

Spend the rest of my days playing dominoes and selling old electronics to gullible hipsters.

[Silo]

If I stay on the path I'm on, I'll end up just like my pastor - becoming one almost by accident.  If not, complaining about the world, counting down the days and hoping that I'd influenced someone enougb. 

Eh. I'll suffer the same fate as the elders.

[Cingal]

When?

Jokes on you fuckers, it's "If" at this point.

[Wrecker]

Hopefully not have Dementia.

[Tsuujou]

Probably be broke with dementia and some sort of blood problem.

[Strongbob]

I have something to say, it's better to burn out than to fade away.

[FlynnCoyote]

I'll be the old hooded man with a wizard beard in the town square telling stories in exchange for silver coin.

[U-235]

I'll probably end up like my grandpa. Angry at modern politics, still making witty and sharp comebacks at 95, and laughing at dark humor like no tomorrow. Throw in a husband and some nuclear physics and you got me as an old man.
