It’s 3:00 PM and I have just finished lunch.  The record breaking rain has stopped and the sun is back out again.  It is 82 degrees and 76% humidity, balmy, to say the least.   I have been thinking about, what to write about.  Since most of my friends a “Boomers”, let’s talk about them.  Definition of Baby Boomer: Anyone born between 1946 and 1964, which leaves me out.  But, there were about 76 million people born between those years.

Some are or are about to be on Social Security.  So I thought I would give out some interesting info for those closing in on 65 years of age.  Firstly, congrats on getting to 65.  I went to the Social Security Administration website and found some cool stuff.  Wait till you see this.  According to the Social Security Administration:

A man reaching 65 years of age today, has a life expectancy of 84.3.

A woman reaching 65 years of age today, has a life expectancy of 86.6.

About one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 will live past age 95.

And there is more.

There is a Life Expectancy Calculator.  You put in your gender and age and it tells you, about how long you are going to live, barring falling and breaking your neck or some other life altering incident.  My life expectancy is 86.2.  I should have saved more money for my retirement !!!!!!!

The moral of this article is stay healthy and prepare for a long and happy life.
