How old will you live?

**Bakerboy** · 09-20-2006, 12:59 PM

This may seem like a morbid topic but I have always been fascinated with people who live a long life. My main goal in life is to have a long one. I realize I could easily get hit by a bus or a bolt of ligthning or get snuffed out by cancer but for some reason I think I am going to live a long life.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has ever thought about how long they will live to and or how they think they will die. I know statistically speaking, the average man lives to 62.7 and the average woman to 66 (world average) with the highest life expectancies in Japan (82.1 years, combined Men and woman average). But I am not interested in that, I am more interested on your thoughts, predictions.
I want to live to 100 years old, it's a nice round number. I want to die peacfully in my sleep. Here is my new hero, and yeah he just happens to be Japanese.

I would like to live long too. Imagine all the events he has seen and gone through in his life. I want to live until I'm atleast 100.

In China the very elderly get mucho respect for their time on earth.

Mucho respect sounds good.

I want to live until my dick stops working. My biological father was 68 when he made me so I'll settle for my 70's.

Um, the way I drink and smoke I figure i'll probably die of lung cancer, liver cancer, heart attack or syphalis by the age of 45.

~80 sounds good to me.

if I hit 75-80, I may take up smoking again..why not. It's been 4 years, but would still probably enjoy it.

But not until then...

Until I can't run anymore.

I at least want to live until My Chemical Romance's new album comes out. Then I'll listen to it and get depressed and commit suicide.

it depends on how much money I have, most people only have retirement funds set to last for 15-20 years max, if I am flat broke at 85 I am not sure I would want to live another 20 years being dependant on the government for money, healthcare, etc.

If death gets scienceowned. So you dont need to die anymore. What would happen to religion?

That is a good point. I was thinking about that. I would try to just live with a family member.

what if you had outlived your family, or they are elderly and don't live on their own?

I will die before I become a dependant old man in a nursing home.
