EclectEcon

Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

Life Expectancy
Of interest primarily to the older readers of EclectEcon is this site which provides a life expectancy calculator for people over 60 [h/t to BenS]. According to this site, I'm expected to live into my 80s, and I have a 4% chance of dying within the next 4 years.

Note to my children: It looks as if you will most likely have plenty of time, still, to save up to cover the negative inheritance.

Does it control for profession? Economists live longer.

Gabriel,

You're mistaken. It only *seems* like they do (mental note: never get an economist to start talking about how much and when to tip....)

That said, it looks like I may have a new project - the Harvard quiz would nicely compliment of this tool.
