Читать книгу Retirement Planning For Dummies - Matthew Krantz - Страница 14

The U.S. government has a good idea about how long you’ll live. After all, as the largest payer of income to older people, it’s in the government’s best interest to know this information.

The Social Security Administration’s Life Expectancy Calculator at www.ssa.gov/OACT/population/longevity.html looks at your gender and date of birth to estimate how long you'll live.

For example if you're a 40-year-old male in 2019, you would see a table like the one in Figure 1-1 after entering your gender and date of birth. You would be expected to live until 81.7, which means at 40 you'd be just about ready for a mid-life crisis. If you were healthy enough to make it to 67, the Social Security Administration would figure that you would make it to 86.
