Actuarial Science - Life expectancy calculator

Watch your age in the upper right corner!

Kinda fun to watch your age go up and down as you answer the questions.

Now this is interesting, give it a try....

How long will you live? This is a calculator that estimates your life expectancy.

It was developed by Northwestern Mutual Life. It's interesting that there are only 13 questions. Yet, they can predict how long you're likely to live.


I clock in at 85

Got 84, not bad considering the average life expectancy is around 78 years over here.

I put in the age as 18 and answered every question wrong, that person would die at 23....

Looking at the catagories I would be

Never wearing a seatbelt, smoking 2 packs per day, recreatioanl drug user, no begitables, no exercise, history of cardiovascular disease.....+ others.

That describes a few fellas I went to school iwht back in the day, sonder if their still alive.

I got 80, but there were no questions about daily bandsaw operation, or buffing wheels slinging sharp objects across the room.

86. If I live that long I hope I am physically active and I still have my wits about me. My wife works in a retirement community and living to be that old scares the crap out of me.
