" Making the Most of Your Life "is a new computer program and application web based under development, which gives you your health, wealth and happiness profile throughout your life -. from age 30 to age. He is coming with some fascinating findings and some really quite surprising.
Like most of us now know, each year adds new fifth-sixth year of the cohort life expectancy of babies this year; So babies born this year 2014 will live a year longer than their cousins born there five or six years, in 2008 or 2009. Not only this trend lasts for nearly a century, it is expected to operate on at least 2060, by which the average life expectancy is expected to be about 100 years in many Western countries.
The population in almost all western countries is increasingly heavy, with 50% of adult men and nearly 40% of adult women who should be at least obese - if not clinically obese - in 2030. C ' our generation is powered by putting on weight as we age, but more worrying for our children is even bigger than we were at their age!
be clinically obese for a long period significantly shortens your life expectancy. Similarly, prolonged heavy smoking and drinking has the same impact. So Clement Freud was clearly wrong on this, but it was 100% right to maintain a close relationship with your partner, friends, family and good, that by keeping a lifestyle and healthy weight and a positive disposition happy not only helps you live longer, but to enjoy your life longer, too.
The three ages of man (and woman)
We all have our separate lives being young (0-30), the average age (30 -60) and old age (60 plus).
There is a century when pensions were introduced in the UK, the first of what happened to people all over the world, workers (mostly men) were only expected live a few years after retirement, and women did not share the pensions of their husbands. This inequality of women who had brought largish family then largely dropped their children to support them throughout their lives widow. Not surprisingly, contributions to the pension of a man working at that time were only a very small proportion of his monthly salary. Today, when one-third of a person's life should be lived beyond the retirement age, the contribution of the combined employer and employee should be between 16% -18% of their gross salary throughout their lifespan of 45 to 50 years if they are to live reasonably comfortably in retirement. Thus, for every $ 1,000 you earn throughout your life, you need to save and invest $ 170 for your retirement. Very few of us in practice come anywhere near that!
This application online free, to be launched in 2015 by the Centre for Ageing Better, will help people to decide the least unpleasant way to develop and maintain their health, wealth and happiness as they age.
The site, unlike others that are currently out there, uses the latest scientific, technical and government predict how the lives of users from different ethnic and socio-economic progress will - and allows us to see the impact on their health, wealth and happiness of how different choices / decisions they make during their life changing results.
will be able to answer some of the most popular questions such as "What is my life expectancy in good health?", "What do I have to change my power to live one more year? "and" what income will I need at different stages of my life? "and" How can I increase my retirement income of $ 1,000 a year? "
the Center for Better aging will be given the public health England data, national Institute for health and care excellence and the office for national statistics of the UK. He will ask you ,, your exercise and health food financial profile, you can update or set up with different profiles of yourself for both projects and the likely outcomes of using alternative portfolios see what impact do different career, spending and savings, lifestyle, dietary decisions and exercise will do.
Men and women's bodies are their physiologically adapted to the age of 25 to 30, and the average age of both marriage and women having their first child in many Western countries now about 32, it makes good sense to start mapping your future age of 30, which is when most of us start to take our future lives more seriously.
As parents, you want to be there for your children throughout their early years and until they have flown the nest. With women now have most of their children in their mid twenties to late thirties, their children will be in office until the mid-fifties to early sixties. With someone born today expected to live to their mid-nineties, it is increasingly important to plan for retirement at an earlier age and treat it as part of your plan for this time of life.
For someone who retired in their 60s, they can expect to go through three other stages. First, be fit and active, the second being somewhat dependent and who need an increasing amount of medical and physical care, third being dependent on others because of age or illness and requiring a quantity increasing medical care to keep them alive. This third step is where the additional costs to keep a person comfortable in their old age really degenerate, which typically represents 80% to 90% of the cost of medical expenses and care throughout their lives .
Location, Location, Location
Perhaps one of the most surprising findings of this research is called the 'postcode lottery' as regards the quality of life and life expectancy. This shows that, compared to the average (mean) for the population of a country, it really does matter where you live. For those of us who live in the best zip codes with a good clean and healthy environment, with better than average education leading to better than average major employment and income, we will in all likelihood a life more rich sound that is up to seven or more years older than our neighbor postal code on average, the difference between the best and worst postal codes being more than a decade in terms of life expectancy.
This has got to be an argument to support your efforts to live a large part of your life in Bali, Jakarta or in opposition to other megacities of the world!
