    How long will you live?

    Made a few changes in the last year to improve my fitness and health this test is quite interesting.

    Mercer Wealth Solutions - Australia - How long will I live for?

    If I get a pet, move to the country and have a sex change I will live another 7 years.

    Could be a useful tool for Ceroc to check how many years they have out of each of us.

    May be a bit to morbid to do a poll on how long we have left!

    Re: How long will you live?

    I made up my mind decades ago that I'm going @ 104.
    My mind is now preconditioned and no-one is going to change that.

    I want my monies worth out of my pension. Mean skinflint of a Scotsman.

    I got 84, but some of the questions I wasn't sure about.

    Who wants to live forever anyway?

    Apparantly, I'll live until I'm 91, or 92 if you count children as "pets".

    Quite frankly, I think we could look a lot worse... don't know how long he's been dancing for, but lots of dancers on here seem to have injuries and aches and pains from them from their 20's onwards... by the time we get to our 80's and 90's we'll all have zimmer frames parked at the side of the dancer floor, and it'll be essential that we all have "frame" when dancing to hold each other up

    Maybe this could be a new business area for Ceroc... "Sunny Vale Retirement Home For Aged Dancers". Our dotage could be like one big long weekender

    94, still aiming for a hundred though!

    But the question about pay is dodgy what about people who are teachers, nurses etc who have stressful jobs but are not highly paid!

    I reckon that could be very stressful for them.

    All of which is about the day we die..

    As dancers, perhaps we are lucky... all said and done, how many people truly get to live, even for just one day..
