It's all about genes, luck, and lifestyle. You can't change the first, and you can influence the second only partially, but you have full control over the third.

My still-going-strong 94-year-old mother-in-law reminds her kids that she gave them good genes (spelled Jeanne -- her name) .

There are several nonagenarians and a couple of almost-nonagenarians in my family tree, as well, so my wife and I are budgeting our money for age 100+. However, I am far more concerned about quality of life than quantity.
