Annotation	The authors write on the basis that, on average, we are living longer than our parents, and longer still than our grandparents. They suggest that, with foresight and planning, a long life is a gift not a curse. It is also a wake-up call, and points to considerations such as the need to work for longer in order to finance a long life. A website (http://www.100yearlife.com/) has been devised to provide a diagnostic, whereby readers can assess their situation and plan more clearly for the future.
