Obviously it's not a guarantee, but it does show the potential impact of lifestyle choices - play with some of the inputs, like what happens if you lose 25 lbs or increase the number of times a week you work out. Interesting to see what kind of impact changes like that make (at least statistically).

It gives a range like I would be in the range from 88 to 101. I think realistically it would be 88 for me. Nobody in my family made it to 100 yet.

April 6, 2063 for me. I just want to see Zephram Cochran invent the warp drive so the Vulcans will visit. Of course I'll be 111 by then...

88! What an appalling thing to throw at someone on a Friday. I was expecting a number lower than my current age to be honest.

I did it just for giggles and grins. They do request an email account to which they will send your detailed report. I have a Free e-mail account that will be deactivated within a month, so they can load that one with all the spam they want.

Following the email page I was provided with a set of bar graphs and an identified age. 94 year old life expectancy in my case. Playing with the bar graph revealed that 94 is the 50% likelihood age, and I have a 25% likelihood of living to 100 or beyond. On the low side I have a 25% chance of dying before 84, which would also include dying today at age 60.

Lots of error space on this one.

My calculator is in my bones besides I refuse to give my email address out to any of these gimmicky things cause I'll be besieged with geriatric promos which will make me feel older than I already am.

Thanks! Got it to work. Notice this calculator is sponsored by a company that sells annuities....... I tried a few scenarios around my ever fluctuating weight (betw 130 - 160) because I always gain when we travel and my life expectancy never changed from the projected 92.

89. This definitely confirms my intention to never retire.

It might be nice to know so that you could get things in order. I fear getting old much more than I fear dying.

This is not even close to the best calculator I have seen but at least it gave quick results. My average is 86 based on this. So if I retire at 46 as planned, I will have 40 years of sweet peaceful bliss .
