Yeah, that’s why I don’t want to have a job with a boss.

Here I was thinking life expectancy was in the mid-80s for some crazy reason.

TIL that 35 = "more than half of your life". Ugh.

I'm not sure how you imagine your seventies and eighties but for most people it's hands down the worst part of their life.

Also, with life expectancy in the US being 78-79 years you could easily end up at the left side of the bell curve and die with 70 or 65.
