I’m 42, overweight, and poor. I’m an elderly middle-aged person who’s maybe got 20-25 years to go.

Something like, “I’m alive, in fairly good health, and I do not define my value by how much I’m able to work or how many years I have left to live.”

It’s just really hard to talk about expected lifetimes and not sound that way.
