If it were possible to know how old you'll live to be,

[raccoon]

would you want to?

I sort of would, so I could plan accordingly.

1. My dear raccoon!

Oh, you bet I'd want to know!

Then maybe I'd get off my butt and accomplish something!

Alas, though....not going to happen...

:hi:

[ohiosmith]

3. No thanks. I'd probably find out I should have died 30 years ago.

[Ava]

2. no

because i wouldn't want to live my life worrying about the certain age when i'm going to die :hi:

[SacredCow]

4. My gut says no...

But then again, I work better with a deadline so maybe it would be an asset....

[crimsonblue]

5. most definitely!

I want to die with not a penny to my name, so it'd be kinda helpful to know how long that will be!

[skygazer]

6. No

I can see a lot of ways that could backfire. Besides, I like surprises. :P

7. Here you go, it is an online life expectancy calculator

The questions seem reasonable, so it might give you an idea.

I will live into my nineties if all goes well.

8. neat link. .. . according to their calculations

some of which are not specific enough I should live till I'm almost 90

Life Expectancy: 89.64
Lower Quartile : 82.92
Median Lifetime: 91.30
Upper Quartile : 98.07

[stuntcat]

9. 40 is already scary, 80 is terrifying

:scared: 2010 will SUCK, but 2050??? :puke:

I don't care to know when it ends, I just hope to outlive my cats.

[Zavulon]

10. Not at all.

Try to imagine how often you'd look at a clock or your watch during that final year. No thanks.

[Fox Mulder]

11. Absolutely.

So I could plan accordingly as well.
