If you give them the proper tank size (20g for the first fish then 10g per additional fish), clean the water, monitor chem levels, etc. you can get quite a few years from them (I'm talking 20-25 years).
I had two that lived for 8 years before they passed (stupid well-city move) and one that is 9 years old right now but is suffering from swim bladder disease because I was stupid.

a long time ago my son won a goldfish playing a game at our county fair. we didn't expect it to live long enough to get home. it lived 14 years. we bought goldfish at a pet shop with a 72 hour guarantee and they never survived longer than 30 minutes. i guess each goldfish is different.
