I said 26 for the longest but I'm chilling at 29. I'm sure it will be mid-30s.

What is so horrible about mid 30s?

I turned 64 last month. If I knew that I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself. I've been having a pretty good time lately, though.

at 50 you do start to realize time is getting short for some things...

If I I'm gonna build and drive my own race car, I'd best get to it. You aren't going to be doing that at 70 unless you're PL Newman.

As you get closer to that age, you will change your mind. Fact.

Nothing. I just like to shoot for below average so when I actually make it past that point I can celebrate.

My dad is 66 and in great health. And lives a good life. Just take care of yourself.

Considering everyone in my family has lived to at least mid-80's, I think I'll be good.

There is Heart Disease and cancer all over both sides of my family. 3/4 of my grandparents had open heart surgery and none of them made 80. My dad made it to 72. I'm guessing that's about the extent of my time here also.

Yeah I really don't get the whole "Pick an age" frame of mind. In someways I don't even think that really matters.

Probably between 50 and 65 if I'm lucky. I don't live the safest or healthiest life in the world, but frick it. I'll worry about that when I'm dead

I am three years from 50 and I think at some point you have to transition from looking for what life has to offer you to what you have to offer others. From selfishness to service to be fulfilled and happy as you age. I am still working on this and seeking an outlet in this direction. It seems like the happiest older people I meet are involved in some kind of hobby or service that contributes to society or others.

If I read your post correctly, you do 150+ on a motorcycle.

I will live longer than you and I have maybe 5 or 10 or 20 tops.

150+ on a motorcycle. Impressive.

You're insane


I'll probably live to 86-88 I'm guessing. Both my grandfathers were in very poor health(smoking, heart surgeries, diabetes) and both lived to be 84.

But heck by the 2070's who knows what kind of life extension treatments will be available. And if I could live forever, you better damn believe I would.
