I’m not inclined to work past 36.
I’m currently 36.
My tips for surviving beyond middle age.
Move to a country with socialised healthcare and reasonable unemployment systems.
Develop a mental illness, you’re 36 so you probably have a couple already.
Apply for disability and reduce your workload to 20 hours a week.
Have your parents die so you can have a chance at owning a house so you have somewhere to die other than hospice.
Kids are a double edged sword, kill you now, look after you later. Might be better financially to not bother, as you’ll have to go back to full time work just for a chance to ensure they don’t grow up neglected, and if they do there goes your retirement.
Screw you I plan die early, so I’m retiring now.
A litte off topic, but still interesting: What you are referring to is the life expectancy at birth. Your life expectancy actually increases as you get older, since you already survived and the people who already died are not factored in anymore.

So according to that table when you are born your life expectancy is 74.12, but when you already made it to 50 it rises to 78.33 (current age + life expectancy from the table).
It’s also higher in just about every developed country other than the United States.
Joke’s on them, I became disabled at 33.
Oh wait, the joke was on me.
While I agree to a point, I’m not fucking calling myself middle aged. My knees hurt enough.
Opt out of the system.
