"Life expectancy" can be very significant or relatively meaningless. The reason is that
each one of us is an individual, and statistics and tables have to do with large numbers.
That said, it is also true that our life expectancy continues to increase (on average).
This fact tends to extend whatever direction our finances are headed.
Another important aspect of living longer is that just because we've made it another year
does not mean that our life expectancy has decreased by a year. The table below shows
that.
What it also shows is that it is critical to take the long view of life, and by extension,
our finances. The tables show that "Retirement is for a long time . . . and a lot of money!"
