The question no one asks is, "Would you want to live that long?"
Imagine 30 or more years of arthritis, poor vision, chronic illness, and all the other unpleasantries associated with growing old.
Maybe dying at 90 wouldn't be too bad, all things considered.
The 3 biggest factors in my opinion are:
1) a very good retirement with a very good pension;
2) a lovely wife;
3) don't piss off the black knight.
Yeah, I've seen that calculator before - right now, it gives me a total of 88 years, at best. Of course, I am fighting the big negatives of "gender" and "grandparents who died at the early age of 60-79". I've learned to ignore such things - especially when I figured out that, on some calculators, if I do everything wrong, it only cuts 2-3 years off the total I earn by doing everything right.
Anyone else notice, by the way, that you would actually lose points if your grandparents all died at age 79 in a freak accident while running a road race?
Hmmm, I was 102. And I *do* want to live that long if I'm healthy:)
how bad does this suck?
The one biggest negative factor that you have going for you is:

i can't change that without serious surgery!
I ended up with 102! I'll have quite the blog by then!
