Average age of death

The average age of death is 77.3 in the U.S. If I make it to the average I have 16,414 days left and have lived 11,826 days.

Really puts some things into perspective when you break your life down into days. I have a lot of things I want to do yet and when I wake up tomorrow I'll have one less day to get all those things accomplished, I hope I have the stamina, health and ambition to never waste another day.

I get up every morning at the same time, plus or minus a minute or two.

Last Saturday I slept in for an extra hour. When the old lady asked about it, I told her i was on Daylight Wasting Time.

If you wake up tomorrow. Averages are, well, averages. Maybe, you will live to 110. Maybe not. I'm sure my late wife thought she would live til 40, but it didn't work out that way. If I've learned anything in the past 50+ years, you take nothing for granted and appreciate what you have while it's here.

the only days you can count are ones that have passed.

Prepare for the end but live in the present
You'll enjoy life more that way

I have less than 1,000 days left. DARN!

Death doesn't use a clock nor calendar. When it's your time to go, there's nothing you can do about it.

Some of us have cheated it a few times especially if you lived your bucket list! 80 in a few days and no regrets and no bucket list remaining!

Genetics is probably most of the battle, but taking care of yourself, exercise, eat well, regular doctor visits and plus one thing that most of us don't think much about: dental health. Take care of your teeth and you live longer.

Saw a advertisement a few years ago during the superbowl and it said the average life of a man was still in the 50's. Some live longer and some die young.

Just the beginning of eternity. Life doesn't end here my friend.

DS,
A reflective post sir. The fact that you're pondering this topic of us humans having no more than 120 years here on earth (declared by God) will serve you well in many respects, not all of which are related to the actual days you are alive before physical death happens to you.

I suggest praying to God, asking Him to help you in discerning His Will for your remaining days according to His purpose for you as you deal with those around you and the world at large.
You may be surprised by His heart urgings and pathway, but it will always be for your good, so buckle down, buckle in, and man-o-man, enjoy the rest of your days as written in the Book of Life.

I pray life is going VERY well for you!
Blessings,
Mark

Don’t we have enough on our plate already?

Wow. No regrets and no bucket list left is a goal that the vast majority wont reach. Thats awesome.

When I look at the newspaper, I realize that my time is now short, My time with the Lord will be forever.
I am prepared to go now. Planning, as if I will live and continue to witness for Him here forever.

Every morning when I wake up I set a new personal record for consecutive days lived.

Being average is overrated. For those who think they have no control over when they go. Why waste time and resources taking care of your health?

My 2nd child was killed at 16 months old. You beat him by a bunch.


I an 41 really no bucket list i can think of. Just want to be healthy and spend time with my family. Learning the bible well would be nice and being in the spot to help others. There are a few things i would not mind doing but nothing pressing or important.

Being a cancer survivor gives you a new outlook. Cherish every day, do what you love, prioritize family, help others, you get the idea.

Just a matter of time before cancer gets me I suppose, it could be next year it could be 20 years. You just never know so don't put things off. I don't want to miss a thing and I live like that.

I have never had a healthy fear of death, now my wife is 16 weeks pregnant. I want to meet and be around for my kid so bad. I've never been so excited to fix drywall and so apprehensive to go cut trees.

With the days left exercise I realize that I need to keep working hard to set myself up for old age and to be able to care for the growing family. I've been very blessed this past year but tomorrow is not guaranteed so I need to get it while I can.

Doom and gloom. Thats not a very good or healthy way to live life Donnersurvivor. Just wake up everyday and enjoy life, every day on this side of ground if a good day.

I expressed myself wrong if you got the doom and gloom message. I meant it to be about motivation, the urgency to accomplish our goals and not waste days. I think months I've wasted on video games, youtube even t-man, all okay things in moderation but can become such big time sinks if I'm not careful. I have so many things I want to do and an unknown amount of time to do them so wasting a day playing video games can't happen anymore.

We REALLY need a "like" button !!!

Well said.

If earth was made of a giant ball of sand and a dove every 100 years would pick up just one grain of sand when the earth is gone eternity has just started. Life here on earth is not even a speck.

I think you have that part backwards. Old age is not guaranteed by any means. DO IT NOW. You're going to have kids, take them with you.

Yep and if you sleep 8 hrs a day that's about 5500 of the days.

When old age decides your time has come more then likely your health will be poor and you won think to much about it Do every thing you can do enjoy family and friends another day is not guaranteed

Life in reality is really not that complicated, it is just that we as humans work very hard to make it so. If we worry a lot about the day yet to come and the one that just past we don't live in the present, at least not as well as we could. "Yesterday's tomorrow is Today". Many of us choose to spend most of our time wading in the shallow end of the pool, instead of learning how to swim. Once we can swim it does not matter how deep the water is.

All I can say is,,Aint none of us getting outta here alive !!
