Maybe factor in family medical history, your ability to get around, etc.
exactly what age would you be content with? 77 is the male average. 81 for women.

I’m shooting for 84

I don't have a number. My line in the sand is being able to live independently. If I can't go and do like I want to, there's no reason to stay around.

I want to be kept alive until they can upload my consciousness into a new body.

Once my kids have found their way in this fricked up world, my time can come.

Same. All depends on my health. I hope I'll get a decent 10-15 healthy years after retirement to do some things that are harder to while working.

I’ve seen people in their 80’s enjoying life. However, if their health goes down where they can’t do the things they enjoy anymore, they quickly lose the Will to live.

I don't care what age I am when I die, I just don't want to be a burden on my wife. If she has to spend her day feeding me, bathing me, changing me, etc. I would rather just go.

If I can’t fish anymore then just send me on an Alaskan cruise.

I'll be lucky to make it to 65.

After I’ve spent all my money on women and booze, and squandered the rest.

Hoping for 70’s but with the way I feel in my 30’s now…. Not so optimistic.

I just hope I go quick and don’t have to limber around with a terminal diagnosis
