How long will the original master cylinder typically last? I'm at 149,000 and growing concerned. :?

Master cylinders are like water pumps. There is nothing definitive. They can last 10K or 300K.

Luckily mine failed right after I parked it. I wasn't driving when it happened. They are pretty inexpensive though, and easy to change once they do go.
