The key is to not be so afraid of your own mortality, and so obsessed with your own comfort, to buy into that end-of-life drain. 75-80 is fine. If you have your kids early (25 or so) your grandchildren will be in their 20's.

Most of my extended family on my dads side naturally lived to an almost comically old age. I am talking late 90s-centennial as an average. They ate a pretty traditional southern diet of hominy, grits, cornmeal, beans, greens, pork (when they got cars to drive to hog farms), dairy, and hunted animals. All organic obviously, and hominy, meal, and grits back then were always nixtamlized which improves nutrition. They were very physically active and did not eat very much in general. You should naturally be in a long term, nutrient dense, slight caloric deficit, that's what your body is built for. Eating too much is one of the biggest killers and it doesn't even necessarily have to be obesity or even being overweight. Your metabolism working overtime causes you to age in every way in a shorter amount of time.
Don't be obsessed with longevity but at the same time, humans have an artificial expiry date now. You should not be frail in your 60s. A little bit more beat up, tired, and sore yes, but you should not be almost invalid like most 60 year olds. A 60 year old should naturally feel like an average (so not particularly healthy) 40 year old feels in today's world. Everything I said can improve your quality of life almost instantly as well, and it won't be a fear of mortality or end of life drain, you'll just live healthier for longer. I am in a regular calorie restriction myself (though occasionally I splurge), I have been for several months. For the first few months, I lost weight (intentionally). Now I do not (also intentionally) and my diet is highly nutritious. I feel phenomenal compared to how I felt when I was eating a lot of food every day for powerlifting, and I'm not even much less strong.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
If I knew I could sign a contract right now that said I could live until 80 while still being mostly pain free, and able to have my independence including driving, I’d sign it right now. Many people in my family have lived to 85 plus.
