People in These 10 Texas Counties Live Longer Lives

Have you ever found yourself dwelling on the idea of your life expectancy? Does your state --Texas for me -- county, town, and even job have any factor in it?

I don't like to spend too much time thinking about how old I'll be when I die, and rather focus on the present moment. But I'll admit there have been times I've wished to live a long, fulfilling life.

I'm more curious about how the world will continue developing and who will come after me -- I already know in my later years I'll be getting a sense of FOMO for what's to come.
