I think the statics for the country say if you live to age 65 you stand a good chance of living to age 78. In general I think most individuals that qualify for SS will have a projected life span that will take them past the break even point. Espicaly couples who can benefit from survivors benefits. But yes, your family history and actual helath are much more important than country wide stats.
