How old do you want to be when you die?
Everyone has a
secret number, the number they want to get to, before they die. Recently I had a reading with a woman who is
78 years old. She has some complex
medical issues. The cards saw pain and
difficulty but then the possbility of a good recovery. I
asked her what number she wanted to get to and she said 93. If she wanted to live to 80, then perhaps
she wouldn’t want to spend 18 months in surgery and recovery, but if she wants 15
years, it is worth undergoing a painful surgery.
We often have these
secret numbers in our head and we should take them into account when making
decisions. A friend of mine recently
said that he wanted to live to 100.
That’s not my magic number; I worry about finances and frailty and human
connection and I don’t think I want to get that far. But if you do, you should start taking care
of things now, so your foundation – health, wealth and community, is solid.
