Naturally there's no "perfect" age but i'm thinking maybe between 70 and 75,where you can still be in good nick,healthy and active (and still look decent)and still able to enjoy your usual activities.
Do people really WANT to get into their late 80's or even 90's? when your mind may well be addled with alzeimers or dementia,the joints will have long since given up and you'l likey be deaf ,half blind and need someone to wipe your ar'se.That's no dignified way to pass from life imo.
I'll plump for 75,a nice big party,close family friends,class A drugs and some high quality brasses..THATS the way to go imo.

My Grandad was cooking himself a fry up when his heart stopped at the age of 85, almost instantly. He stood 6 foot tall and never lost a hair on his head. He smoked cigars and drank. Perfect
If you are in good health, 85 is the age to aim for.
I can think of several famous and infamous peopul wot should of gone a lot earlier than they did.
I hope this clarifies the matter.

Sounds "perfect" Sib...if someone is still in good health and has most of their marbles then the 80's can indeed be surmounted(is that a word?)
Got a couple of mates with parents in late 80's and both sets are now a physical and mental wreck,and it's a shame to see such good well lived people end their days as a burden,would be great if we had an acceptable humane time when a "decision" could be made (by the person themsleves naturally) to peacefully let go before with dignity and memory still intact.

120 should be easy enough
It must be, as I'm counted as middle-aged

My grand mother lived alone and managed herself until the age of 98, there is no rule on that matter
80 seems a good time to go. depends on the family situation. id want to see and know all my grandkids first, see them grow up a bit
The perfect age is the day before you start needing help with hygeine/bathing and or can't remember the names of your own spouse/children/grandchildren. Imo.
My grandmother died at 96, and that was only about 3 years too long for her.
Grandfather was going downhill in his mid-80s, and was about to reach the end of the line as far as quality life was concerned when he copped it from listeria or something (I forget).
The other two grandparents died far too young, although by all accounts my maternal grandfather was such a sh*t that he didn't die a moment too soon.

I'm ready and sorted, wills all done and funerals paid for
Reply to bon vivvy.....wouldn't it be kinder to let the person who inherits the house decide when to bump off the old condgers? 
i'd agree with history maker: when your decline is neither upsetting you or your nearest and dearest.
I've got an agreement with my younger brother who is also my best friend. If he ever sees me rocking back and forth, not having the quality of life that I have been used to he can put me away for good and I said I would do the same for him. We shook on it and that's a done deal.
Or even, listening to status quo on your mp3 player in his company..
I'd like to sign up for 72 please.... Grandad 57... dad 62... mum 68

85 would suit me as long as reasonably healthy for a 85 year old.
My grandma in her 90's & can still talk the hind legs off a donkey. Cleans her own house, and can get up the stairs. If I am in such fine fettle at that age then I will be happy to carry on.
When my marbles go then it's time to meet the maker.

I would side somewhere along the 90-ish range. Sooner if you start losing your health and memory of course.
