When Will You Die?

Since one of the key elements in FIRE is knowing how long you will survive, thought you might have an interest in a couple of online calculators to help estimate your lifespan:

Disclaimer: Your actual mileage may vary. Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure and avoid jackrabbit starts and panic stops.

91 in the first quiz (yeah, right!)

84 in the second quiz.* But looking at the analyze choices, I can boost my longevity by .78 years by taking up drinking, and having 2 to 3 drinks a day!

Now there's a strange Rx...

Doctor - "Telly, I'm going to prescribe 2 to 3 drinks a day for you."

Telly - "Uh, what do I take them with?"
