Yes I wondered too cuz I am a cancer survivor and now am diabetic and yet it says I'll be around till 85, I doubt that very much

I'll live to be 86 according to the calculator. Every single one of my great-grandparents lived to be older than 95, including one who lived to 103, and my oldest grandparents are in their late 80's. I think I have some good chances.

HA!
It says 80.

So can I go to Northwest Mutual and tell them that their calculator says I'll live that long so they should give me life insurance?

According to every doctor I've seen (and I've seen plenty!) and medical study MS is generally not a cause of death or even a major contributing factor, but according to insurance companies I'm likely to keel over dead tomorrow so they won't offer life insurance - not even at astronomical prices.
How stupid is that?

But hey - they say 80. I'm OK with that.

Eh, moot, I plan to go out David Carradine style, not of natural causes.

83, but some of the possible answers offered were too inexact, e.g., regarding blood pressure (elevated, but not bad enough for medication) and smoking. One or two cigarettes a day do(es) equal <2 packs, but surely there's a difference?

According to the death clock, I'll kick the bucket on Wednesday, December 19, 2029. That's nowhere near 83.

I will live to 96....hope I'm in fairly good shape at that point.

According to the Death Clock, my date of death is April 12, 2034...23 years from now. At the age of 79. Quite a discrepancy there.

According to the calculations, I'll live to be 84. But I take the test with a grain of salt. I personally don't want to know when I'm gonna die.
It would take all the fun out of life just sitting around waiting for your number to be up if you knew when it was gonna happen.

82, apparently! I was at 90 until one question brought my score way down right near the end.


That was fun, thanks for sharing!
