Some people want to live forever and grow old. Others want to die young and leave a good looking corpse. I used to think it would be cool to be immortal, but not after 2020.
A new survey asked people if they’d rather, quote, “live a long life but struggle” or, quote, “live a shorter but comfortable life”? (The survey didn’t specify what age makes a life “long” or “short.”)
35% of people picked the short, comfortable life . . . 32% picked the long, tough life . . . and 32% went with the cop-out of “I don’t know.”
Men were slightly more likely to pick a long, hard life over a short, easy one. Women were much more likely to pick a short, easy life over a long, hard one.
And the only age group where more people picked a long, tough life is . . . people over 55.
