LOL Thanx.
Actually I'm proud to have been born in the 1940s. I missed the depression and World War II but got to witness some of the greatest technological advances of the late 20th century.
I got to see horses on the streets of Toronto delivering coal, bread, milk and blocks of ice. Our neighbors across the street in the Beaches neighborhood had pet horses. You could still drink out of most lakes and rivers and most people didn't lock their doors. I also saw Toronto's first subway open, listened to Sputnik beep, and watched Neil Armstrong step on the moon.
I got to see my first computer, an IBM650 with revolving drum memory and vacuum tube logic circuits (running fortran, cobol and algol) in 1960, and then visited the Artificial Intelligence Center at Stanford University in 1968. I watched computer networking go from BBSs on my TRS-80 (400 baud modem!) to today's internet of P2P networks, the cloud, and antisocial networking like Fussbook and Twit-ter.
Now I'm looking forward to the merging of stemcell research, genetic engineering and nanotechnology. Hopefully that'll buy me a few more years to enjoy the benefits of my Bitcoin stash and other investments.
Isn't life great?
right behind you my friend.
born in the 50's and like you, hopfully will enjoy (or my 8 year old daughter will)the benefits of my bitcoin stash.

What kinds of measures have either of you taken to pass along your coins? Are you leaving the passwords in a safe or something like that? I am not trying to get too much into your privacy, but some of this can be a little bit complicated.
I have some kind of system in which I have left a large number of my passwords on sheets of papers and certain trusted people have access to those papers, but it is not too likely that they would attempt to access those papers or location unless I was extremely disabled or dead. But I remain somewhat concerned about my system, too because sometimes I should attempt to update passwords and accounts in case something unexpected happens to me and I want my next of kin to receive the accumulated value.
