> am worried my generation won't live as long as my grandparents' on average.
I worry more that my generation will work longer in order to have a drawn out period of ill health before death.
I want to maximise Quality Adjusted Life Years. I am as yet unsure on how to compare a working year to a retired one in that metric.
eg. Work to 60, retire, die at 75 after a short illness sounds far better to me than work to 70, die at 90 after 10 years of illness and being in care.

Maybe come age 60 I will have a different view!
