A man currently age 65 can expect to live, on average, until age 83 and the average 65-year-old women will live until 85, according to Social Security Administration data.
About one out of every four 65-year-olds will live past age 90 and one out of 10 will live past age 95, the SSA found.
Life expectancy also changes throughout your lifetime. A 50-year-old man born on July 1, 1960, currently has a life expectancy of 81, according to the SSA's new life expectancy calculator, released last week. Once he makes it to age 67, his live expectancy grows to 84.4 years and if he hits 70, the average life expectancy is 85.3 years.
Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Boston University medical school who studies centenarians, developed a much more detailed life expectancy calculator at livingto100.com. This calculator takes into account everything from your stress level to your sleep habits and gives you the exact age it predicts you will live to.
Other calculators take a more graduated approach to predicting age. Dean Foster, a professor of statistics as the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, developed a calculator that considers information including your occupation and the types of food you consume and gives you a range of ages when you might die. For example, the calculator might tell you there is a 50-50 chance that you will die between ages 72 to 88. But that also means that a quarter of the time you won't make it to 72 and there's a 25 percent chance you will live past age 88.

97 for me.
A lot will depend on when CWII breaks out.
That’s right. I turn 59 tomorrow, but I want to hide my age from B.O. and crew. I can only hope that all my medical records (that will be electronically available to all those goons) will have a typo that says THIRTY-NINE instead.
I am 61 and my doctors have already opened that envelope for me.
We live, we die.... and we try to make the stuff in the middle both fun and meaningful.
yep..
One of the greatest comedy teams in the world. George and Gracie. I loved them.

I get to train some days. On a good day and a fast Super-G course I can still hit about 70 MPH. Glad I am not in a car. I'd get a speeding ticket!
BTW, I plan to be still skiing at 90+ and make “my hundred”!
Sounds like an incentive not to work too hard on them.
Not series, I actually agree with you.
When those things are pretty much time sensitive (we’re raising grandchildren) there is every incentive to work hard on them. Especially when I could be replaced if I was slacking with someone who would do a better job...
