Good point. Not ragging on you directly.. I believe many retire at 65a and live to 85.. my, how things have changed..
Sorry, I’m a little touchy today, my apologies for being abrupt/callous. I do know that retirement and life expectancy have a lot of different factors, and I’m by no means an actuary. I had just always heard that people die shortly after retirement and I was trying to find a stat, and that was a study I could find. I would try and look at how long someone draws SS, but it wouldn’t be accurate, in my opinion, because people can draw SS while working, or their spouses may draw having never retired, or they may get SSDI, so I rule that statistic out for all the confounding variables. At the time of the study life expectancy may have been different from what it will be in 5 or even 10 years from now. Heck 20 years ago we didn’t have nearly 70% of the population overweight, with nearly 35% being obese. I’m sure that brings a whole lot of change to mortality rates too, we’ll see in a few years/decades.
Again, I’m sorry for being snippy, I apologize.
