120 if no major break throughs happen. 150-180 otherwise.

Ignoring fatal accidents.

The average life span of males in my family is 98. Heavily brought down by two accidents (38 & 17). No naturals deaths below 104. I guess genetics are in my favour.

No natural deaths below 104 is quite impressive! The oldest known male lived to 116 yrs, 54 days. Good luck! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_pe...
