This was a very helpful tool. Originally I was in the high 80s. With the current state of my 401k, Social Sec, etc. I simply cannot afford that. It appears that not wearing my seat belt, upping my drinking and taking up smoking gets me back to a place where I will not run out of money. It may even be more fun

Reminds me of the joke, "I'll never forget what's his name".

I love it. I'd suggest keep on wearing the seat belt, forget smoking but up the drinking and partying. You will not only not outlive your money, but have a blast doing it. Go for it!

Wasn't it Frank Sinatra who said "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that is the best they are going to feel all day."

Default Longevity partially based on heredity

On the long lived side...my dad is 81, and he's still going pretty strong...his 2 older brothers are 91 and 89. My paternal grandparents lived to be 93 and 91,

On the short lived side...my mom passed away at 67 (lots of health issues, but her ultimate cause of death was congestive heart failure). Her father died at 47 (cancer). Her mom died at 72. My mom's sisters died at 22 (kidney failure) and 74 (cancer).

So I guess for me it's a crap shoot ...

OMG. Mine said 99. I need to get back to climbing the corporate ladder in a high-pressure job.

No wait. If I do, my life expectancy will nosedive and I won't need a high pressure job.

Any more room under those tunnels?

99 is just too old, have a couple drinks and relax.

I'm a wannabee and was nervous taking this test as figuring maybe I wouldn't make it down to tv as my house is still on the market, But I got a 92 and now my blood pressure is down and stress is gone.
I can't wait to come down and be part of you fine people
