Wait the life expectancy in the US is that low?!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's actually lower in the poor-er regions.

I'm guessing the target goal is whatever they set retirement age to be.

(Yes, I realize they want to eliminate retirement entirely.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Absolutely. They've been trying to increase the retirement age for years now.

That's average. So if you have a lot of money and are spending it to raise the average cost, you probably live as long or longer than the other countries. On the other hand, the poors have a live expectancy that much lower to average it out. So call it 70 for the poors and 82 for the rich.
