Interested in finding out your life expectancy?
 
Try this link out from John Hancock Insurance Co. I’ve got another 29 years to go!

I’m scheduled to hit 94 years old- no mention of that’s with or without diapers!

flatbutt 03-14-2023 03:51 PM

97? Shee-it no man in my family has ever made it past 85.

Scott Douglas 03-14-2023 03:53 PM

It wouldn't let me past 'continue' so I guess I'm about dead.

Chocaholic 03-14-2023 03:55 PM

89 here. Guess I don’t exercise enough…or perhaps it’s a daily beer or two setting me back.

Evans, Marv 03-14-2023 03:58 PM

i've got about 16 1/2 years to go when I'll check out at 97 - supposedly.

same here...at driver violations, it froze up.

cantdrv55 03-14-2023 03:59 PM

Keep trying. Happened to me too at first.

herr_oberst 03-14-2023 04:11 PM

Looks like I'm dying young. Only 87.

How soon before a John Hancock agent is knocking on my door trying to sell me a policy?

stevej37 03-14-2023 04:17 PM

froze up again...at the weight part.
I'll try again tomorrow....if I make it that far.:)

rfuerst911sc 03-14-2023 04:26 PM

Say's 88 for me . That's 23 years from now I will take it 😋

Shaun @ Tru6 03-14-2023 04:31 PM

I got 95 which is pure rubbish. For the last 10+ years I've said 150 years old is my goal. My diet and activity level and genetics will be get me to 100. At 55 now, I've got 45 years of science to get me from 100 to 150. Looking forward to it, there's so much more to do in life!

asphaltgambler 03-14-2023 05:07 PM

I've already lived past 40, which if anyone knew me prior would agree was a miracle. I'll be 64 in October, don't feel it or look it ......yet

Yeah, this does not take genetics into account which is probably more important than how you take care of yourself as long as you aren't extremely bad off (morbidly obese, smoker-drinker, etc....).

We're not letting you off that easy. We're going to keep you around a bit longer than that, Marv.

It knows about the Nitrous in the prelude and the boy racer civic.

ramonesfreak 03-14-2023 05:37 PM

I use a life expectancy calculator for work every day. The worst is looking at how many weeks you have left. Dont procrastinate


This is a good one

If I sell both...will I live longer? I think not.:D

Brian 162 03-14-2023 05:48 PM

I check out at 95

If you could know the exact hour of your death, would you want to know?

Shaun @ Tru6 03-14-2023 06:00 PM

-^^^ Absolutely

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

bob deluke 03-14-2023 06:02 PM

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.

pwd72s 03-14-2023 06:28 PM

Good question, Super.

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

fanaudical 03-14-2023 06:30 PM

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...

Rick Lee 03-14-2023 07:20 PM

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

Baz 03-14-2023 08:10 PM

"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."

WPOZZZ 03-14-2023 10:06 PM

92, so I have 34 years to go. I don't think I want to stick around thay long. Wow, the gf is supposed to hit 99!

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.

911 Rod 03-15-2023 06:38 AM

77
I guess I don't win.

tdw28210 03-15-2023 07:59 AM

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 08:02 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 08:19 AM

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

Paul T 03-15-2023 08:29 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. ;)

fastfredracing 03-15-2023 08:40 AM

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