Americans are quickly catching up to the Chinese with respect to longevity. We now have some 40,000 centarians in the U.S. and by 2030, America will have one million centarians and most of them are already in their 70s today!
That said, I do believe that simple living and responsible consumption of alcohol have a lot to do with living a long life.
We have parents and their children on Social Security now. Looks like we could have three generations collecting a government check soon (probably are some already).
We all better get off FR and back to work. This is going to cost us a bundle.
