Every single one of us on WallStreetOasis will be dead in 70 years [if not (much) sooner].

No further elaboration is required. Similarly, no further commenting is necessary.

Let this (indisputable) fact sink in. Let your mind ponder this in silence.

Now get back to what you were doing.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Actually this is honestly pretty debatable especially since the majority on here are college students or fresh out of school and those who are 20 or under or just born around the year 2000 are apparently very likely to live past 100. Even if you ar a bit older with the progress in technology I’ve heard that 100 shouldn’t be too far off as long you live somewhat healthily. Infact, I’m almost certain that the first person to live past 150 is right now is currently somewhere in there 40s. Just some optimism for you all.

The first person who will live to be 150 is alive today. The first to live to 200 is likely being born very soon.

Chill bro. According to the Bible, Methuselah lived for 969 years.
