If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

Like I currently do, I never assume i'll grow old. Most of the males from my dads side.die by 45.

I spent quite awhile thinking about the question and I can't really come up with anything. Seems with each thing I consider bad that I did in this lifetime, there was also something positive that came attached or wasn't really too terrible.

*edit* I wouldn't order a computer from Dell. I'd die before it got here. Found one!

I can't think of an answer for this either. It's a hard one to consider, because parents and lots of family would have been gone for years by now. If anything, I would have worked a hell of a lot less.

I definitely had to think on this one too. I can't say I would make drastic improvements in my life but I would at least be more open about things with people. Any issues with anybody (friends/family etc..) I would immediately clear up so I could go on to live out a carefree life.

If I only lived to 40, I'd have to go all old school. Knock a chick up when I'm like 14. Get married. Then proceed to farm my land until death.

But in actuality, I'd probably live my normal life, do the whole college thing which would leave me at about 22. I figure I could get a job in the field I'd like still and retire by 33 or so. Seven years of life in my 30s will allow me to do all the awesome things I would otherwise do now. Like skydiving and intoxication and whatnot.

Good. These are supposed to inquire some thought.

For me I'd travel more. I've already accepted the fact that I have wanderlust, but if I didn't have an entire life to live I'd move a lot more often.

I want to travel too. I've been stuck in the same area for all my life pretty much bar an occasional trip out of state. Florida being the furthest. If I could, I'd take extended trips all over the world. Two or three month periods of living in Europe somewhere or Australia or even just somewhere in the states across the country. Meet new people, see new things.
