It does not make sense to me why people would want to live beyond 50 years old, especially since health problems start becoming more frequent around that age.

Which makes me ask: Why do people wish to live long beyond the age of 50?

I mean, personally I had seen people get more lonely, less independent and if they are still not working and don’t have kids to support them then they are fucked, when they reach that age.

Some people prefer to be alone.

How independent are we anyway?

They can be supported by the government and/or accumulated wealth.
