not counting the 5 that this question will cost me. At this time, I have 21 questions waiting to be resolved. That will earn me 3 pts back. Assuming I ask 6 questions per day and resolve every one of them,(provided Yahoo doesn't delete them) and I don't answer anymore questions,
How long will it take me before I run out of pts?
Don't forget I have to resolve this one too.

In addition to the conditions that you stipulate, this also assumes that you do not vote for best answers and that you do not have any additional answers chosen as "Best Answer." I also have to assume that you resolve the questions on the same day.
You would burn 11 points a day. You ask 6 questions, costing you 30 points (5 each). You resolve 6 questions a day, returning 18 points (3 each). You also earn one point a day for logging in.
On day 963 days you have 30 points left, on day 964 you have only 19 points and can only ask 3 questions. On day 965 you have 14 points and can ask two questions. On day 966 you have 11 points and can ask 2 questions again. On day 967 you are down to 8 points and can ask 1 question, You burn only one point a day now, which gives you four more days, so on day 971 you ask your last question.

Resolving the 21 questions will get you 21*3 = 63 points. Your total becomes 10,620(not counting -5 for this question, as you requested) You ask 6 questions per day. That's 6*(-5) = -30. You resolve each one. That's 6*3 = 18. You get +1 every day for logging in. You lose 11 points a day. Let's take the number of days taken to burn all the points as 'x'
x = 10620/11
= 965.454545...
= 965.45 (approx) days
