Life expectancy
Seeing the Digg, I tried the life expectancy calculator.
Depending on whether I consider my parents alive or dead after reaching age 80, I get a life expectancy between 75 and 81 years. My personality type is a big strike against me.
Since retirement will start at about age 70 by the time I reach that age, I shouldn't be a big drag on the system. The lean period will come between the time I become unemployable, age 50?, and the age at which I can retire. By eating only what I can get out of the dumpster at the back of Walmart, I could at once reduce my life expectancy the rest of the way, save post-peak-oil gas by grocery "shopping" at my place of employment, and save money. It'll beat growing potatoes in my back yard. And it'll keep the children from having to pay for my retirement.
Nathalie's going to live to 102. She's thinking about everything she'll be able to do without me for the last 30 years of her life.
