That's according to, probably, a recent poll. Things change.

There is only one place to grow old and that's in the arms of a 25 year old woman...

I'll take a more feasible approach. Besides, there's very few 25 year olds that I'd want to spend any time with at all.

It's by a care-giving organization and it focus' on the last part of life, not the retirement years, it's all about who's got the best care facilities.

Ditto. That survey focuses on senior health care and there's a lot more to it, than that. Arizona and the southwest? My sister just moved back to Maine from there and the southwest is in an brutal, extended drought and triple digit heat spell. Washington? Heat and floods, this past year. No one place has it all. We thought of retiring to the Carolinas but my kids, grandchildren, friends and social organizations make up relationships I couldn't or wouldn't want to establish all over again. Like Jerry says, I'm here; I'm dug in, and I like it.

That explains the footsteps I've been hearing in the attic.

An old friend of mine married a very young lady and I ask him don't you think that just might be fatal?.He replied "If she dies she dies".

Old age and experience can be rough on the younger generation.

I'd prefer 25 - or even 35. There are a couple of 60+ year old hotties around here.
