I've apparently got until 79, about five years below the current average (I had no idea the average life expectancy for men had reached the eighties) probably mostly due to my refusal to sacrifice red meat for cabbage.

It's 67 now, but it's just as well if that wait is cut short. I'm not entirely sure I want to live that long. Seventies is plenty.

I have till 91.4, or nearly 3 1/2 years above the average female life expectancy. I find that surprising. I don't know if I want it to be that long. I'm not ready to go now, but I imagine another 71 years will change my mind.
