  1. 42 years of additional growth

    50 Ibs  in weight pehaps.

    false teeth

    lost an inch or two in height I expect

    snooker world champion five times then retired having never got your maximum break and going down in history as a Jimmy White type.


  2. You are going to create a time machine.

  3. How do you measure "average achievement".  Would 42 be the correct answer?

    One way to approach the question would be to identify key attributes: IQ, health, background wealth, education...  Then look up the stats and aggregate.  For example, at present maths graduates can expect to earn 10% more than other graduates, women can expect to have had 1.3 children (or whatever....

    The could give you a picture of now.  then you need to extrapolate trends - eco issues, transport, employment, disease....

    42 is easier.

  4. saggy man b***s, erection problems, constipation, heartburn, loads of graves to visit, bad eyesight, no hearing and a nurse to trim ur toenails once a week.

  5. The age of 69

  6. My son is 26 also; by the year 2050, you will have achieved whatever you decide you TRULY want and are willing to work for.

  7. You will be 69 and hopefully will be able to get a discount at the movies.....it will only cost you.

    43.00 to get in

    49.00 for a large popcorn

    47.50 for a coke

    Not bad considering you used 189.00 worth of gas for the 4 mile trip....

  8. If you really mean average, you will be long gone.

  9. Your bus pass.

  10. You'll have gotten an advanced degree, gotten married, flourished in your career, have had 2-3 kids, coached a team or headed a scout group, while doing all of this saved for retirement, traveled a bit, watched your kids graduate from high school and college, they'll get married, and then you'll have retired and have become a grandparent recently.

  11. senior citizenship

  12. No one can tell you that really and stuff the cynics and the statistics.Achieving for yourself or for others?

    It all depends and if you want something badly it does not  always mean you will get it.

  13. The only person who can really answer that is yourself. There is no "average" to what someone can achieve. There's the social mainstream model that dictates that by then you'll probably have had a job, got married, had kid(s), possibly grandchild(ren) but who is "average"? What is "normal"? The only person in control of your destiny is yourself so whatever you see yourself as having achieved by 2050 is entirely in your hands. If you want it enough and work hard enough at it, you can make it happen.

  14. you will reach the age of 69 and party really hard because I'm sure there will be many parties that year!

    No, but seriously I'm a fortune teller........ hmmmm you'll not make it that far and die because a great depression will happen around that time all because of our 10 billion population and oil depletion problem. Oh and your own depression will eventually lead you farther toward your death because your wife cheats on you with the UPS man (not the mailman, remember that!) So don't let her buy too much stuff on ebay... but since I told you this, your future has already changed. And for the better! Trust me.

  15. Old age.

  16. Be married, and have children and even grandchildren.  Be retired after a long successful career and now enjoy life.

  17. It's all what you set your mind to. Reach for the stars, have a great attitude, love your family and you'll be able to achieve anything you want.

    ..and don't worry about bumps and bruises along the way. They're part of life..so just take them as life experiences.

  18. You will be 69

  19. Statistically even money is on Retirement.

    Good odds on kids...

    50% chance of divorce

    35%chance of remarriage

    2:1 odds on death.

  20. an STD....haha for real though

  21. Your pension, the rest is up to you.

  22. Pensioner

    Three kids

    Five grandchilden

    2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 budgie
