Half of 70 is 35.
Life expectancy in the United States for a healthy male is…70-something.
No matter how late into your 30’s you are, you can fudge it and claim that twice your age is within the range of the aforementioned male life expectancy.
When you reach 40, that logic no longer flies. Twice 40 is 80. The reality is that 80 is beyond the average, thus, life is officially more than halfway over.
Did you get that? When you reach 40, you’re suddenly looking down the other side of the hill. Statistically speaking, there is more path behind you than in front of you.
Seeing that you reach mid-life at 40 is generous. You might already be past it.
Door open, ground work laid for proverbial Crisis!
Personally, I’ve got my sights set on 120. I still have a way to go
before I’ve got anything to lament.
