Kind of fun to watch your age go up and down as you answer the questions. Now this is interesting, give it a try.... How long will you live? This is a calculator that estimates your life expectancy. It was developed by Northwestern Mutual Life. It's interesting that there are only 13 questions. Yet, they can predict how long you're likely to live. media.nmfn.com/tnetwork/lifespan/ |

There are some good questions that common sense would say can help you to live longer, ex. no smoking? Yea yea I know the age old argument of "well my grandpa lived to 98" and smoked like a train and yes there are those who can say that but percentage wise it's not a high number. Heck I had a great uncle that was on a oxygen tank the last two years of his life and died at 87 with a non filter lucky strike still smoking between his fingers!
Drinking eating right all good questions but just because you do that is no guarentee? But IMO if does increse you odds of living longer. I myself worry about genectics? Cancer is a factor on both sides of my family actually lost my father to liver cancer 4 years ago and on my mothers side of the family have lost several.
I just had my annual check up and got a clean bill of health except of course my bad arthritis and feel pretty good about things but when it comes down to it you just never know.

Well, I am 78 today and supposed to achieve 95.
Maybe if I survive the current problems with my kidney stones. Two extracted last Wednesday and many others crushed by the sound methods. Doctor said I many need to come back for more efforts later. I would rather no more problems at all.
On narcotic pain relievers again. At this rate the scoot will be 10 years old and less than 100 miles on it. Maybe I should just start a 10 year long PDI. I am going to ride as soon as I get off these pain pills.

I'm 69 soon to be 70. I've had a stroke, seizures, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It says I'll live to 96. I say BS.

Just remember these Insurance Companies have this down to a science. That is why they also sell Annuities and stuff, they know the life expectancey depending on your habits and size and stuff. Of course there will be a few that beat them but not many that is why they are in the business, very profitable.
