X-Message-Number: 33278 From: Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:24:22 -0500 (EST) Subject: actuarial tables Tables provided by the Social Security Admin. show the following remaining life expectancies in the U.S. as of 2006. Male age & expectancy: 60 20.7 Female 23.78 70 13.55 Female 15.9 80 7.28 Female 9.33 90 3.84 Female 4.62 95 2.67 Female 3.20 100 2.01 Female 2.35 110 1.11 Female 1.19 The most striking thing clearly is the steady reduction in mortality rate with advancing age. A man of 80 can only expect about 7.28 years more, but if he reaches 90 he still can expect another 3.84 years. Escape velocity, anyone? R.E.
