Thats why it is always safest to use the average figures to illustrate a point cause there are just too many different variables & factors e.g. dying at 60 and dying at 100 years old. These averages are derived from actual known historical data and so nobody can argue these are made-up to support your own point tio bo???

first of all try not to follow national average...simply incorrect...I follow my family average measured in 4 generations...Great grandparents age, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunties and siblings...this will determine the avg lifespan...
yes you may live till 90...but I dun think I will...
anyway you have your own parameters and nobody is to question you...you are your own judge...how much you need to have is simply nobody biz...
