California Bob sent me a paper from the King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals that contained this table:
Table 1 – Actuarial Study of life span vs. age at retirement.
Age at Retirement | Average Age At Death |
49.9 | 86 |
51.2 | 85.3 |
52.5 | 84.6 |
53.8 | 83.9 |
55.1 | 83.2 |
56.4 | 82.5 |
57.2 | 81.4 |
58.3 | 80 |
59.2 | 78.5 |
60.1 | 76.8 |
61 | 74.5 |
62.1 | 71.8 |
63.1 | 69.3 |
64.1 | 67.9 |
65.2 | 66.8 |
Numbers are based on retirees from Boeing Aerospace. Curious, the longer you work the sooner you die. I suppose these numbers could be peculiar to the working environment at Boeing, but I find it hard it to imagine such a situation.
It's showing executives live longer, the ordinary working stiffs are fortunate to be able to retire at 72 unless they have considerable side income. Boeing pays well but not that well.
