Yes...that way I could die with zero dollars and zero assets.

I’m buying the farm at 96….as an aside, I served aboard the USS Hancock CVA19 from 1966-1969. Three cruises to Nam. She was known as the big “Hanna”.

That's exactly my thinking/hoping.

Good question, Super.

A decade left? Not so sure I want that many, the direction the nation is headed.

Calculator tells me I'm going to live until 96 years of age. That's too long. I figure the calculator has given me free reign to increase my drinking and traffic violations...

I'm in the life insurance biz. I don't often deal with anyone outside the 55-80 demographic. AZ has a ton of great life insurance company competition. But the pricing is generally based on your face amount divided by the monthly premium. That's how many months they figure they'll collect from you before they have to pay out. Ballpark is 13-15 years. Cancel or lapse before that and you're no longer their problem. Not too many folks start a policy in their 60s or 70s and keep it more than a few years. So the companies do pretty well.

Sure as long as I didn't know the day. :D

"At birth, a male child may expect to live to age 76 but at age 75, instead of turning to dust, a man can expect to live to age 86. If he makes it to 86, he can expect to live to 91. If he makes it to 91, he may live to 94. The age where a person has an approximately 50% chance of dying in that year is 108. Why we live longer has a lot to do with the social determinants of health and access to the best medical care. People who die before age 75 are usually the victims of trauma or a variety of illnesses or just bad luck. The population of survivors beyond age 75 are a smaller, but more resilient, group."

Yeah, actually I would.

no way. I suppose if it were 50 yrs off, I’d put it out of my mind, but as the date approaches, I think I would be consumed by it. Granted, gives you plenty of time to ensure everything is in order, etc., but I think I’d obsess over it and not enjoy life.

77
I guess I don't win.

The whole moving violation thing is sorta dumb to me. Ask me what kind of car I drive. THAT is probably a much bigger indicator of life expectancy. Never getting a ticket while driving a '73 Pinto is WAAAY riskier that getting a ticket for doing 80 in a 70 in a 2019 Cayenne.

Rick Lee 03-15-2023 07:02 AM

I ride a pretty quick bike and am probably 10x more likely to die on it than in a car. But I've never gotten a ticket on the bike. So what could go wrong?

KFC911 03-15-2023 07:19 AM

My expiration date was somewhere back in the 80s :D.

Paul T 03-15-2023 07:29 AM

I think genetics also plays a huge role which is not addressed at all in the quiz. My Mom (didn't drink, didn't smoke, thin) dropped dead at 50 from a heart attack. Grandfather (her Dad) at 60. This was decades ago, so no vax issues. Not sure how big of a role that plays (for my sake, I hope not a lot!), but I have to think it's a sizable factor that can't all be undone with healthy lifestyle choices.

Exactly! I always drive the speed limit up the mountain, on my moped, on the way to my weekend BASE jumping spot. ;)

Man, I am not even sure I want to live to 95.
