How old do you think you’ll live to?

[John6185]

My Dad lived to be 82 and died of COPD, my Mother died at 85 because she stopped taking her cancer medication. I have medical problems of various diagnoses but I go to see Doctors regularly but I should make it to 85 easily barring stupidity and accidents.

My family makes it to their mid 60’s. In 20 years check the classifieds for all my stuff when my wife liquidates.

My dad lived to be 96 and his mother at 98, my mom was 92

My maternal grandfather’s family are long livers have all made it to their mid to late 90’s, and my paternal grandmother made it to 97.

I’m 55 now and am not sure I like the idea of possibly living another 40 years.

Eternity. It's a transition thing.

I am 72, WWII vet dad is a very spry 98
I do not see me getting too much older
Too many miles, not enough maintenance

I have plans, but there are no guarantees.

Dad passed at 57. His brother's were 51 & 52. His sister was 52. Their Dad at 44.
All of colon cancer. I get routine exams, since 45 and not all have been clear. If you haven't been check, PLEASE DO.


As I'm nearly 68, so I am on borrowed time.
But, Dad was amazed I made it past 21.
My plan is 85.

All my grandparents lived into their 90s. Three were pretty clean lives one was a drunk.

People on my mom's side live longer than dad's side. Dad died at 67 but made very poor lifestyle choices. Youngest of two older sisters did the same...died at 63 due to drugs and alcohol. Oldest of the two is 70, mom just turned 88. My great maternal grandmother was 96 when she passed.

I'm 63 and figure if I take reasonably good care of myself I should make 80-ish. I guess we'll see.
