How Old Are You?

[5K Qs]

With a new year arriving, and with my Dad's passing and my birthday last month, I've been thinking about age recently. Over 10 years ago, there was a thread in which members on The Porch reported their current age. (https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/age-group.1295867/ Post #273 has a nice graph)
I enjoyed the thread since it helped us all know a little more about each other.

I propose that we repeat that age-reporting activity. I set it up as a poll by age decades so that we'll automatically get an "age distribution". Feel free to report your exact age in a post, as well as to indicate the range containing your age in the poll.

I just turned 74.

My mom passed at the end of the pandemic. My dad end of 2023. It does make you think .... So I became 60 last Feb and decided to retire early in May. No regrets.

I made it into the "70 to 79" group April last.
I might make it into the 80 to 89 group.
I really doubt I will make it to the next group after that.
As far as I know, only 1 of my ancestors made it to the 90 plus group. 82 seems about the upper limit on the paternal and maternal sides.
Paternal one uncle made it to 82. The rest departed in their 40's to mid 60's (heart attack/stroke). On maternal side, great grandfather and my mum's elder brother made it to 82. the rest left between 60 and 75.
My great-great maternal grandmother made it to 103. (her daughter, (my great grandmother) married into the family.)
I don't believe She and great grandfather had any surviving sons.
(I'll need to check on that. If not that family line died ... I know one of his brothers had a son, but he did not survive infancy. He passed at 3 months old in 1914. That great-great uncle was killed in France (WW1) a couple months later, something like a week or two before the war ended. )
As far as I know, none of my other great-great uncles had kids.)

Edited to add : Old enough to have a Great Grandson stationed with the U.S. Air Force in Japan . He is the oldest one of 15 Great Grands .
