@nineliveslost for what it's worth, and slightly morbid, here is a link to the SSA's life expectancy chart.  At 54, they estimate a man has an average of 25.06 years remaining. If you make it to 60, you have 20.47 years.  The much quoted 73 years of life has the stupid years baked into it that don't allow you to get out of your 20s.  This chart basically resets expectations based on current age.

Good info. Kinda matches up to the plan I was throwing out above. I get to 60 and have 20 good years left, then it gets creepy. 20 years isn't long.

All you young fuckers should read "The 100 year life", talks about how more than 1/2 of the people my kids age 22-31, are likely to live to 100. Excluded true 3rd world countries. But the book is about planning your life with that in mind; take care of your health, finances, social activity. And that ifi will look different than the traditional 3 phases of life - education, working, retirement.

But think how much safer the elderly would be with an ammo box full of Austrian 20 Coronas under the bed?
