    Somebody is going to want to say, something along the lines of, 'as short/long as possible'.

    This question was inspired by some thinking, about how long it would take, to be able to accomplish everything I want. I have come to the conclusion, I would need about 200 years, at least.

    That said, how old do you want to live/survive to be?

    For the sake of eliminating any potential 'I don't want to get too old, because of health/immobility/and so on', we'll say, you'll be perfectly capable of doing whatever it is, you need to. Within reason, of course.

    I'd say maybe 300 years. I've overestimated that a bit, to allow for any potential new oppourtunities that may arise to do new things during the course of this extended life.

    I think I'd be bored of this world by the time I'm 120.

    Anything over 100 would be fine though, cause then I can happily go to a probably non-existent afterlife and be like TRIPLE DIGITS BITCH

    So much to see and do in this world. Not to mention the wonders of technological advancements.

    I would want to be at least 200.

    I don't want to live forever, but my curiosity would want me to stay and watch how the world changes in the next 100/1000/10,000/100,000 years!

    In Jewish circles, at birthdays, we say (in Hebrew) "ad mea v'esrim" meaning until 120, which is a reasonable age to pass on, in my humble opinion, not unreachable with further medical advances...

    I'm weird, but I would want to stop aging around 18/19 and live forever. call me strange, but I am terrified of the idea of getting old. But, at the same time, I'm scared of missing out.

    With my mental faculties intact? Forever. I wouldn't mind to be just a brain and a couple of eyes inside a glass jar.

    Unable to take care of myself and/or mentally disabled? 0 seconds.

    At this point in time, the most sincere answer i can give with absolute certainty is - 10 years, from now. It is something that has been decided in recent days, should my plans work out. If not, then it's out of my control.
