The current average lifespan of an American may be 77.6 years but there's another figure out there and if I can figure out how I found it, I'll post it, that is more relevant.
I'm trying to remember the details - but it basically said that *if* you make it to 65, *then* your expected remaining lifespan was certainly more than the average.
That average figure includes, for instance, everyone who dies before 65 so the numbers are somewhat skewed.
