I'll be lucky to see 70 based on my father's health.

Realistically I'm not really expecting to make it beyond 70. I'm in decent health now but both sides of my family have a crapload of health issues that set in during middle age. But given how healthcare has advanced, I may very live past 100 and I expect the average man from my generation probably will make it to the century mark.

And according to that OKCupid.com test, I'll die at age 73 from cancer. I'd expect I'd die a few years earlier than that of heart disease or something related which seems to be the major killer in my family.

Using the MIT test:

April 2062
at age 78
- probable cause -
heart attack

WHY YOU DIE?
56% heart attack
24% car accident
13% overdose
5% drowning of the lungs
2% wounds

72 based on the test - I'd have guessed 75 without it.

Wow, such a morbid thread.

On the plus side for those giving low estimates for their life-expectancy, live it up!
No need to hold yourself back with Headphone purchases. Buy like there's no tomorrow, because there might not be.

Well, that's a certain way of looking at it...

Seriously, there is no reason to look at death as morbid. It's the only Universal constant: "Entropy cannot be denied". It's how you use what you have when you have it, just like I when I quoted Sheryl Crow - just not about what goods you have.

HOLY $HIT!! According to the deathclock website, I've been dead for more than a year already!

I hereby bequeath my stable of audio gear to Howard Stern...

70-ish or so, assuming I dont die in a car crash or something.

 

[PSmith08]

The "scientific-ish" calculators seem to think 73 or so. I, though, tend to think it will be around 51.

It would be a cruel joke to get twenty more years than I want. A half-century is enough. I doubt that there will be a plethora of loved ones to disappoint with my passing, so it isn't as though I have a lot of people keeping me here.

Death is another part of life. Not my favorite, mind you, but still a part. I suppose.

None of my grandparents lived to a ripe old age.

I'm underweight (which plays in my favor) and also out of shape/sedentary (which plays against me). I also smoked for 20+ years, and still dip snuff... however, I don't drink alcohol at all. Excellent immune system, I rarely even get colds in the wintertime, have no allergies whatsoever and no chronic illnesses.

Dunno... if I ever get in shape and quit tobacco completely, I'd give myself pretty good odds. Otherwise, I don't know.
