Projected Life expectancy

[Bogie]

So I found this link: https://www.blueprintincome.com/tools/life-expectancy-calculator-how-long-will-i-live/


I looked at my factors and I can add 0.5 years to my life by working out 3-4 times per week vs the 1-2 times a week I currently work out.


On the other hand , if I have 2-7 drinks per week I can add 0.6 years to my live vs the 1-2 drinks I currently consume.


What do I do? Isn't it obvious?

Quit exercising and up the drinking! It's a WIN/WIN!!

Run to the bar more often, get the benefits of both

Never ran with them, (was one of the Riyadh Road Runners who ran on paved roads RRR Riyadh Road Runners and for a few years wrote the (unpaid) RRR bi-weekly race summary in the Saudi Gazette), but sometimes walking in the desert would see traces of the flour (I think it was flour) that the Hare used to mark the route:

Nice calculator.

Based on this tool, I have 25 more years of Covid19 lockdown to look forward to. No travel, no bars, restaurants, no pools, concerts, plays, beaches, movies. Nada.

25 years that will feel like 1000s!



Thanks!!

19 more years of Covid-19 lockdown. Nineteen seems to be a magic number.
Of course, both of my parents croaked at 95-1/2.
Whatever.

I lost 2.9 years by not drinking booze vs. 8 or more drinks a week.

 

[aja8888]

15 more years of being locked up. I could shorten that if I start drinking and smoking. I need a plan.

By then you should be able to find hand sanitizer.

I would be thrilled to make it to 87.

When you are my age (76) you hope for a few more than that!

I rarely drink...maybe 4 or 5 per YEAR. I'm surprised to see that my life expectancy would increase with one drink per week and even a little better with 2 - 5 drinks a week.

Not what I would have thought. So drinking even a little does a body good, I guess.

Works for me!

"Your life expectancy is 6.1 years greater than most!
Great job, but you'll spend hundreds of thousands more in your long retirement. An Annuity provides income as long as you live."

I'm sure most folks that sell annuities would agree that, yes, selling annuities is a great way to keep the commissions and bonuses coming in.

For the buyer? Meh.

I think it is spelled "WINE/WINE!"

 

[Teacher Terry]

When I use a calculator I usually get between 84-86 which I think is realistic. This one said 92.

 

[Car-Guy]

Looks like it's time to increase my spend rate again.... A lot....

Because I think I t is trying to sell you an annuity. As least that is what it suggested to me when I answered the questions and it came up with my very long life expectancy.

I don't drink and I am too old and set in my ways to start now.

Hey, Bartender!
I'll have his.

 

[GravitySucks]

I walk to the local tavern (back when it was open).
1.2 miles there, 2.1 miles back.
The difference is staggering!

HaHa! You can have all my skinflint cheap beer especially in the morning.

Says I can get from 94 to 97 if I had a drink a day. I have tried but just can't consistently do it despite DW having wine at dinner most nights. There is just nothing aside from umbrella drinks that I like and they are too much work.

I feel like I am at the auction, GP and Dad died at 60 thought I would too. But at 60 I was still here then 65, then 70, then 75, then (in 4 months) 80. No major medical problems (too heavy, have had HBP for 40 years, and lots of minor skin cancers) thinking I could go for 85, 90, 95 or 100. I probably do suffer from excess opitimism.

Does the Virus figure in those charts now?
