Lead a lifestyle

Hi

Are the underlined natural phrases?

What kind of lifestyle would you like to lead 10 years from now?

I want to lead a simple lifestyle now and any number of  years from now.

Thanks,

Tom

No. I'd say eg What kind of lifestyle would you like to have 10 years from now? I want a simple one, now and always.

Thanks, Clive.

Just to ensure that I understood you correctly...

We don't say "lead a lifestyle" -- "have a lifestyle" is a natural phrase". Right?

I wouldn't say 'lead' is wrong, but to me 'have'' is more natural, in this context at least.

But in a context that calls for Continuous tense, I'd say eg He is leading a healthy life-style, not He is having a healthy life-style.
