Life Expectancy
Is your life expectancy the same as the average person?
Life expectancy tables can sometime help you think about your health and long-term future. However, they can be mis-leading if you’re using them to plan how long you should set your income for. You really can’t afford to run out of money and you’re probably not average anyway.
Income planner defaults to age 95 as a guide. If there are two of you, then the youngest and most healthy is the life to plan for.
the age you choose is when you plan your money to run out.
just Make sure you have something to fall back on, just in case you make 103.
