Yup, biologically if you make it to the point of being able to reproduce and do so, you're now surplus and a drain on resources. The real big challenge, IMHO, will be another global pandemic such as the 1918 H1N1 avian flu that killed 50 - 100 million mostly from the younger age groups. The 1918 was unusual in many respects but lack of vaccines and antibiotics (to treat secondary bacterial pneumonia) were two major ones that contributed to the high death toll. Another unusual aspect of the H1N1s is their targeting of the younger age groups 40 - 20.
With these improvements the 1957 H2N2 (Asian Flu) killed 4 million and the 1968 H3N2 (Hong Kong Flu) also 4 million. When a new H1N1/09 virus appeared in 2009 (Swine Flu) a triple-hybrid (Bird/Swine/Human) medical advancement saw only about 1.8 million deaths.
Consider the rise of bacterial infections due to antibiotic-resistant strains that are emerging and thus fewer and fewer effective antibiotics and we're getting closer to that 1918 state. We have vaccines but in order to have enough available science has to GUESS at what strains to include in the vaccine formulation making them roughly 56% effective

Not so bad Girls are great, thus I'm also.
We're driving the working season (7 months, 7 days a week, sometimes two shifts a day) to the end, plus bought a house in roh-bau condition short time ago.
Yourself?
