Hell, no, it's one of the great mysteries of human existence. I might live to be a hundred; then again, I might just drop dead typing here on my key boa

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.

Heck — I’d read it, scan it and email it to my friends and relatives.
Well, if all goes well, I could live for another 41 to 45 years. Of course, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.
My paternal grandparents all lived into their mid 90’s. They were reasonably healthy and had sound minds. My dad is 77 and in super good condition.

and in walks ZeroCare to make some changes.
R.I.P. :)
Why? When God wants I will leave this existence. Apparently I have yet to accomplish all the things He has me here to do.
Shit. I gotta get moving on porch-painting project I've been putting off. I think my dogs are gonna outlive me.
I’m due to expire around 74 (45 now). If I quit smoking I will gain 3 years. If I quit drinking, I will gain 6 months. My Dad is 73 and very healthy. His Dad died at 84. Glad I was born into a family with relatively good genes.
My grandma took rotten care of herself and lived to be 79. My grandpa lived to almost 91.
What it boils down to is that the amount of money you have dictates how long you’ll live, and I have all the money I’ll ever need - as long as I die by 4 o’clock this afternoon.
THUMP? Wait a minute, if you were dying, you wouldn’t write...

Yes - then I would adjust my life insurance accordingly.
Of course, I suppose this is not counting what Obamacae will do to the aged. Start substracting the longevity estimates.
The following table lists the average number of additional years a female born on December 14, 1891, can expect to live when she reaches a specific age.
At Age 118 and 7 months
Additional Life Expectancy 0.5
Estimated Total Years 119.1
I expected it to say, "Additional Life Expectancy -29 years"
Do you know, there is an Aramaic word in common english usage?
“Bat” - as in, “Bat Mitzvah”
It means “Girl”, in Aramaic.
How odd.
I predict I will live until something happens and I die.
Exactly.
