72. Same here, somewhat younger.

In my world we aim for a century and it's always something gone wrong if we don't get past ninety.

I can tell you what went wrong with all my immediate ancestors who didn't make it past ninety and won't be surprised if I land among them. The odds are good I'll know near exactly what went wrong.
