    73 seems pretty low. It’s 77,28 years in the US and 81,41 here in the Netherlands.

    Still, it’s weird people call 50 middle aged when it’s more like 40.

      Well but 50 makes sense though you are kinda useless in your first 20-25 years then you start working acquiring experience etc 25 years later you are in the middle then 25 years later you die

        If I understand this correctly, it’s life expectancy at birth, right? So if you read this, the relevant-to-you life expectancy is even lower. Though AFAIK you also get a “bonus” for still being alive, so it’s probably a wash …
