Fifty would do me nicely.

SleepQuest33 · 14/12/2025 18:47

I think I’ve got another 40

goudacheese · 14/12/2025 18:49

Hopefully 23 if I get to average life expectancy...yikes!!

mondaytosunday · 14/12/2025 18:50

25? I’ve always thought I’d live til 88.

HornyHornersPinkyWinky · 14/12/2025 18:53

Both of my parents made it to their 80’s. So based on that I’m giving myself another 40 years.

26, but for me it’s not how many years of life I have left but how much life I have in those years. My worse fear is to be infirm so I do everything I can to remain functionally fit and mobile.

TheTowerAtMidnight · 14/12/2025 18:57

Around 40 unless I am very unlucky.

CaramelChips · 14/12/2025 18:58

If 82 is the average that would mean I'm just over half way.

Zippedydodah · 14/12/2025 18:59

As I’m nearly 72 I doubt if I have more than perhaps a dozen years? Who knows? My parents lived into their 90’s but spent most of their final decade wishing they weren’t alive….

letshavetea · 14/12/2025 19:01

I’m 70 and feel great. Who knows? Hopefully another few yearsz. Who can say?

Arlanymor · 14/12/2025 19:06

53 - I'm going to live until I am 99 and then die the day before my 100th, just to be facetious. I was going to die two weeks before my 100th when I (wrongly) thought that you automatically got sent a telegram from the King for your 100th, and I wanted to make sure that I never received it if it was dispatched earlier. But I have since found out that you have to request telegrams now, so I plan to die on 25.02.2078. I'm not an early bird, so it will need to be after lunch.

TimeToThrive · 14/12/2025 19:13

I’m 34 and know I will be lucky to get to 50 as my cancer is likely to return and take me out.
my youngest child is 5 I hope to live long enough to see them through high school.

Fifthtimelucky · 14/12/2025 19:33

I’m hoping for at least another 25 years, which would take me up to 90.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 14/12/2025 19:56

Well, I seem to take very strongly after my grandmother (minus the broad accent), and she is positively youthful at 98, in comparison to her relations. She just has one cousin left to beat (cousin died at 105), so... maybe 73 for me?
