I always thought I'd die pretty young... but Mrs. Bee says I will live for a long time since my family is relatively long lived. My dad is almost 79, and my mom just turned 69. And my mom's mom is almost 90.
I was a little sad about that, because to be honest I don't want to live forever. I'm ready to go at any time.
How old will you be when you die?

We will live into our 90's. DH has no choice, I want to see Prettybabys babies get married.

I want to die due to natural causes. I don't want to die because I'm old and sick or something like that. I think I'll live to 85.

I have two grandparents that lived to 88, so I'm aiming to hit 90. I have one great great aunt who lived to be 106, and that might have been a little long. 90 seems good, especially in light of a partner who is 11 years younger and girls who were born when I was 38 and 40. (It would also allow me to be married for 50 years!)

I hope to die post 90, and like @Rubies because of natural causes. The ideal way would be to go to sleep and go that way. Peacefully. Now, I've got chills...

I'm a cancer survivor. I assume it will come back and kill me. So I'm hoping for 70.

Hmm well my mom's parents both died when she was still quite young (she was raised by my aunts and uncles)....so, I guess if that's any indication then....any time now? Eesh.

All those calculators put me at living a long time, since I'm a lifelong vegetarian, never smoked, never drank, never did drugs, etc.

I'm shooting for around 100. Some of my great grandparents are still alive, and they really just get a little kooky once they get into the 90's, but still pretty sharp with all things in perspective.

A) - LMAO to @mrsjazz: I wish I was witty enough to think of that answer
B) - @mrbee: What do you mean you're ready to go at any time?!?!? You have a whole family to be around for! And us too for that matter 
As for me, I'd like to at least hit 80, but I'll be happy so long as I still have my brains. Even happier if i could be like my great- aunt, who was able to climb mountains until she was 80.

One grandma played golf every day of her retirement, up until 92 years old, and passed away at 94! My other grandma is as feisty as ever at 89!
Both grandpas faced cancer and died in their 70s or 80s.
So I suspect I will be somewhere in that range, too!
