How old will you live to be?
According to this, I'll live to be 89. Kind of a fun little test -

1. I should live to be 84.
That's surprising because I smoke. But I'm already 68, so I still have quite a few more years to go.

2. I definitely don't want to live to be 82 years old.
That test doesn't really take health problems into account. It's for non-disabled healthy people. And for that I'm thankful. The idea of living into my 80s scares the hell out of me.

8. Surprisingly, it says
I will live to be about 85. Considering the side of the family that I actually know about in which most members died before their 79s arrived, with my bio mother being only 62 when she keeled over and died.

12. Says 85 for me
But I could increase it by exercising more and taking aspirin every day.

Good. That means I have a 69 year time frame in which to clean the refrigerator and finish the laundry.
