While all of these statistics are valid in their own right, I don't think it makes sense to take them and use them to extrapolate the rest of your life, especia

While all of these statistics are valid in their own right, I don't think it makes sense to take them and use them to extrapolate the rest of your life, especially in such a doom and gloom way.
My attitude is certainly not of the 'oh don't worry you have plenty of time' because we really don't have that much time. But if the view is that in an 80 or so year life span, you got to get in 8-10 golden years as a healthy American, oof, that is pretty tough, and I probably won't change that mindset.
- scubakid 5y agoIt's true, broad stats aren't great predictors of individual outcomes. Or at least that's what I like to tell myself haha, though at times I worry it's tough to distinguish from "yeah, but it won't happen to me."
