Hah. Believe me, it's around 40 that life actually gets interesting, even without kids. Yeah, the bod isn't what it was, but past 40, if you've been open to learning and growing, you pretty much know yourself. And with that info in hand, you can do things you wouldn't have dreamed of at 25.
For me personally, I'd like to stay around for as long as it all _stays_ interesting. I'm willing to accept that there may someday be things I can no longer do; that's okay, as long as I can do other things that are equally worthwhile, or at least be of value in some capacity to others. If my body ever breaks down to the point where life is little more than simple existence, then it's time to go.
