I’ll be taking the rest of the day off. I’m meeting with a funeral director.
(The graph couldn’t be more off. I feel like I have 30-39 minutes left.)

Hey, BigFurHat, live it up! I never thought I would live to see my 30th birthday and here I am 66 years old.
I doubt I’ll see 2016
I’m already older than what I was told to expect when I was 10. I have a hereditary blood condition that they thought would have a greater effect on me than it has. I don’t look at any of those mortality forecasting stories, I’m already ahead of the game.
Don’t forget to take your heart pills. Wouldn’t want to keel over when the funeral director gives you a cost estimate.
Just trying to toggle my age almost killed me. Never did get it right. I know lots of people in their late eighties and early nineties, so I think that graph is outdated.
If you think I’m flying to Florida. You are kidding yourself.
At the rate this country is going down the tubes who gives a sh!t.
Social Security Administration better get its sh*t together.
There’s a good chance they’ll be writing me checks until I’m 92.
Suckers!
Our days are numbered by God, not man. In my almost 66 years I have had several close encounters of the dead kind, and for reasons only understood and known by the one true and merciful God, I am still here. I am endeavoring to use whatever time I have left wisely.
For a little humor – I saw a bumper sticker that said “The more you complain, the longer God makes you live” 🙂
And every year you write a check to the IRS for Social Security right? So who’s the sucker?
Notice that the chat is skewed because it doesn’t include the 9.5 months of life before birth.
This is important because the chances of being murdered before actual birth increase greatly, thus affecting the percentages.
Chart, dammit.
Well….I guess I can’t buy anymore green bananas….
I’ve always thought of myself as an outlier, whether that means I have 5-9 years or 50+ years left however has yet to decided.
A couple of years ago my Uncle Lloyd was talking to my babyboomer cousins and me. He was approaching 90.
His comment to us was ” when I was your age I never imagined living to the age I am now” He will be 91 in Jan 2016 still drives , lives on his own, mows lawns and ditches around his rural Ohio home. And last summer climbed to the top of the new grain silo. some 130 ft in the air.
You remind me of a day I brought my elderly Dad into an ice cream store. The counter guy asked his age. 88. Counter guy said “God bless you”. I believe in God and I believe that we all need blessing, but I don’t want to be at an age where this is the response to hearing it, ’cause that means they think you’re old.
Hey, I’m off the charts. 🙁
How utterly convenient! According to this I’m set to expire March 2038.
Isn’t Social Security set to run dry sometime in 2039?
Did they factor in obamacare??
I was told by doctors in the mid 1990s that I would be lucky to live past 1999. Every day is a gift.
