THE ENDLESS WAVE | PART ONE
Here are some more numbers to gaze upon: Ages 60 — 64 = 7% of all deaths
Ages 65 — 69 = 11% of all deaths
Ages 70 — 74 = 17% of all deaths
Ages 75- 79 = 28% of all deaths Ages 80 — 84 = 50% of all deaths Ages 85 — 89 = 88% of all deaths
You have less than a 2% chance of living to 100. I have been at several funerals of people who reach this age (and over it — one lady was 104!).

HOW AM I GOING TO DIE?
Hopefully, you will heed my advice and start to really think about what you want. There are numerous websites that offer ideas and plans on death and dying. Here are just a few:
