As long as I can and still be in decent health. I am 70 and been running 15 miles a week for over 40 years. Also lift weights and stretch two times a week. I try to eat well and get annual exams.
No guarantees on anything but I do my best to live a healthy lifestyle

For a long time I was ok with my 'number' being 70; now I think I like 80 better.
That will get my boys to their 40s and 50s and, hopefully, any grandkids to their 20s. Wouldn't mind seeing a great grandkid if that timeline gets compressed somewhat.

I plan on being around a long time.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Going in your late 70's or early 80's seems like a great plan when you are 40. But when you are 75 and still laying solid pipe, not so much.

I want to live as long as I can. Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.

I have watched older family members drag others down as their health failed and dementia/Alzheimer’s set in.
It is a hard path to go down.
If I get to that point, I hope to die in my sleep/suddenly before others have to suffer.
Women in my family make it well into their 90s, some 100+. Men at 80 years are done, alive but nothing there.
For me 80 is a good number. If God grants me with more years than that, I pray they are good years.
I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
