As Brian Tracy states; “Everything counts.”
If a person can start to think longer term they would probably start to
make better decisions in the present.
Have you decided how long you want to live for?
How to Increase Your Life Expectancy
As you’ve probably gathered, I am a very big believer in the laws of
probability and although it is hard to guarantee things one hundred
percent, I think that all of us can put the odds of success on our side if
we want to. Th is leads us very nicely into the subject of life expectancy.
Many articles nowadays are telling us that we are living longer. When
you see these write-ups in the newspaper, even though I see living longer
as a positive, the media almost always seem to put a negative slant on
it, stating that because we are living longer, people don’t and won’t have
enough cash to cope. Living longer and not having enough money could
therefore cause a lot of pain.
Th at future pain of course could be avoided by some simple fi nancial
planning. Th e positive side to everybody living longer is the fact that
when you get your fi nances in order, you can then enjoy the lifestyle that
you have worked so hard to create. I recently did some research on life
expectancy and discovered that in 1900, it was only 47. 96
More recent data from the continuous mortality investigation shows the
annual increase in life expectancy of a 65 year old male from 1985 to
2005 was 2%. 97 Th e statistics showed that the life expectancy of a man,
aged 65, living in the UK in 1985 was 78.8 years of age. But in 2005, the
life expectancy had jumped to 84.4 years of age.
What would happen if this trend continues?
A person aged 39 in 2008 may expect to live until he or she is almost
100. And that is if he or she just met the average!
