I am pretty surprised by the "yes" answers to my question. From my perspective, one of God's greatest gifts to us is the inability to see the future.

Aww man. I redid the gf's one because she still smokes. She'll live to 94. She is 2 years older than me. Even in death, I can't get peace.

It gave me 96

Max life expectancy is 125. If you live that long you will die of renal failure.


At 30, you lose 1% kidney function per year. You can live on 5%.

30 + 95 = 125

If I knew the day and hour I would die, I would be a risk taking, death defying son of a gun every day until the last one.

I would have a lot of debt too.

90
It obviously didn't take into account the 3.0 John Walker built for me now pushing my 72 around with gusto.

It worked for me this time.
I drew a 92...not sure if I'm happy or sad with that.

I’ve got 22 more years to live.


Unfortunately, I’m only 64.

I've gotten four death claims in as many weeks. Got one today. She was 70. Another one died at 72 on the same day as his first premium payment. The first guaranteed issue policy I wrote was for a 64 y/o woman on kidney dialysis fours yrs ago. She's still kicking.

92

My father dies at 59 and mother at 68. Plus I like playing with guns and drive an old 911. So I wouldn't place bets on me making 92

I didn't see a question about how much bacon do I eat. I think that is quite relevant.

Ha, I would agree! It's a fun quiz, buy way to generic IMO. Like the drinking...every day could mean a small glass of wine w/ dinner...or it could mean half a bottle of vodka. Drastically different health effects one would think!

The quiz is there to generate leads and it makes people feel like they will live forever.
There is no way the majority of us will be alive in our 90's.
