but its not bad for an old guy like me who lived life in fast lane.
i am happy to cash out for 13 more years.
but have you tried the live expectancy calculator?you have to be honest with the questions and you will find out how long you are going to be on this earth.
answers straight away.but really its a bit of fun.enjoy.i might try another site in 12 years time and see if i can scrape another year or two out of them .

I doubt the forum will still be around in 13 years time so it's not all bad news.

Just filled out the Aviva calculator and I'm good till age 89!
Incredibly they don't factor in alcohol!! |
|
By:
As we all know, all of this is sh!te!!
Just filled out a different one, and I'm only good till 74! |
|
By:
I did 2 seperate tests I found on the internet. The first one said i'd live till 82, the next one said i'd kark it at 74

Take it all with a pinch of salt.
Only time to worry if it comes back you shouldnt be here!! |

By:
The Aviva one will try and get the years as high as possible to give us more incentive to save with them.
I added three stone to my weight and got the same number of years. I then declared that I smoke and they knocked 2 years off. |

I reckon I could find one where I'm gone already!

The best indicator of life expectancy is how old your Parents and Grandparents lived for.

Not sure about that TB!
People are generally living longer, due to better health care, better diet (potentially) Advances in Screening and Diagnostics, and availability of drugs, to deal with such as hypertension, and to control high cholesterol etc. Add to that advances in surgery, for such as heart problems, and coupled with organ transplants, vaccines for such as influenza and pneumonia, blood transfusions etc. Furthermore, for most, availability of 'feel good' leisure facilities, and (whatever we may think) an easier life in the workplace! |

I think another item to be considered is the loss of manufacturing which killed so many through industrial disease.
As already said heart surgery has come on a lot. People are smoking less and asbestos has been dealt with. Homes aren't as cold as they used to be. The rise in diabetes is the latest worry, that's going to shorten many lives. We might be better at keeping people alive than we used to be. Yet the quality of life with most people pretty ill is questionable. |

To the OP....which site did you use?
|

By:
Seeing as Dad was born 2 centuries ago, I'm just glad to still be here!
|

By:
Jeez! And I thought I was old.

He had me late in life, and was born right at the end of the century.

By:
We're probably about same age then.
|

By:
Late 60's here.
|
|
By:
Mid 60's.
|
|
By:
reckon you're a decade behind,
|
|
By:
Nope. Three or four years at most.
|

oh right, close (ish)
I was trying to work out how old that lazy slob of a son of yours is.  |
|
By:
28.

Good to see another old fogie with a sense of humour.

Your date of death, barring accidents, is in your DNA. Of course work, better health care, living conditions etc extend life but these can be factored in. We all age at a different rate and have our own expiry date.
I expected to peg it around the age of 82 but I've recently knocked a few years off. |

Used to work in Pensions and the actuaries did a lot of studies nationwide on how best to predict pension liabilities. Their life expectancy was based on pretty much post codes to get an average life expectancy. No surprises I suppose that the highest life expectancy was being based in Devon with the lowest being Glasgow city centre area. Believe it was around 13 years different in life expectancy.

I took the test, apparently I died four years ago!

So there is life after death after all!
