My expectation of my own life expectancy was beginning to be a little grim, between diabetes, smoking, sz , lack of exercise and being overweight. All conditions that can shorten your life expectancy. I have a bit more positive outlook on life expectancy now since I am working on 4 out 5 of them(Obviously not much can do about sz), especially the smoking one. Just a poll to see what you expect.
I would like to live into my 90’s as I’m 63 now. I realize that may not happen though. My grandparents lived into their late 70’s and my Mom lived to 81.
I put 90. Not really an expectation, more like a hope. My Mom lived to 82, so it’s not entirely out of the question. I never expected to see 40, so every day is a gift. Not every day feels like it, though.
I chose 60, I’m already older than I ever thought I’d reach. A pdoc told my parents when I was 17 that I’d be “dead or institutionalized” by the time I reached 21…now I’m 48 years old.
