Check this out...
It shows how you can calculate your life span, and things you can do to lengthen the result given you after a quiz. It is worth doing. I think it is really worth while, with some good medical advice at the end.

Gee Thanks Mags. I now have proof that I have not been saving enough. Oh well, at least I know which of my bad habits I can start over endulging in in order to bring my lifespan better into balance with my savings.

It says mine is 78 which is just nuts. Apparently being single and burying myself in work when stressed are good things. Isn't it Ironic that being single is a good thing for women and bad for men. Gives a whole new meaning to women complain that they feel married life is just sucking the life out of them.

Fenix.. did I misunderstand your first post?
I took it to mean that you were so healthy, that you had to save more to accommodate such a long life span.. but 78 isn't very old... unfortunately, we don't have a good record in the longevity department in my family history...our motto..live each day as if it were your last.!
I think married women have twice the stress.. they tend to do the worrying for their husbands as well as for themselves.. I've never met a man yet who worries or stresses about anything.. LOL

Mags - 78 is very old in my family. If it were to come to be, I would live about 10 years longer than anyone that can be remembered in my family. Three of my grandparents died of cancer (4th was killed in WW2). None of my mothers aunts or uncles made it to 65 (2 Heart disease, 1 Cancer) and there are at least two incidents of Alzheimers on her side. Not a promising picture.
Besides... I've really never had much desire or intention to stretch life out as long as possible. I just don't think that people were meant to live as long as they do today.

Mine was 84.3. Most of my family members die around 80 or so. I suppose that's close.

Naw, but I counted wrasslin' sheep, goats, cattle, horses, dogs, junior high kids and SWMBO as daily exercise. I may have fudged a bit on the 1-2 drinks a day answer though.
