Financial Aging
The thing that surprised me about the financial aging calculator are all the different possibilities for our futures. We don't know as of right now what job we will be doing for sure, how much money we will be making, and whether or not we'll have a spouse income and even further than that what their income will be. I think right now we are too young to get a pretty close figure because there are so many different variables; I mean the calculator can give us a ballpark but that's about it. Things change, people change so I think it will be interesting to see where we actually end up. We are all very young still and have plenty of time to figure things out before retirement.

Centenarians
I honestly think the Centenarian group as a whole is a very interesting and intriguing group of people. They might possess and help us uncover the answer(s) to the burning question what causes aging? A lot of their attitudes and personalities really stuck out to me. Their mental sharpness at over 100 years old was absolutely amazing to me. A few of my relatives have lived into their early to mid 90s so I find it very interesting and in watching the Centenarian video was thinking if my relatives are/were like that as well. I personally think more Centenarian studies should be conducted for comparison and to flat out just gather as much information as we possibly can about this group. I think this information is relevant to everyone on this planet because we all inevitably age. A lot of people just go through life ignoring this principal however but if we actually take a more in depth look at it and figure it out I think more people would be at ease about this concept.
