The rows of first choices

These are the rows where education, first jobs, and first homes get decided, and choices compound for decades afterward. On a full calendar this age is still near the top of the page: most of the paper is empty, which is a fair reason to take some risks while the cost of a detour is low.

The averages at 24

The Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, the one used in the 2026 Trustees Report, puts average remaining life at exactly 24 at 57.9 years for women and 53.0 years for men. That implies an average age at death of about 81.9 and 77.0 respectively, and a halfway point in remaining life at around age 40.

Of people alive at 24, the same table implies that 65% of women and 52% of men would reach 80, 31% of women and 19% of men would reach 90, and 2.8% of women and 1.0% of men would reach 100. A period table assumes today’s death rates hold for the rest of a life; if health keeps improving, the true figures will be somewhat higher.

Averages describe large groups, not you. Health, habits, income, and family history move individual odds far more than a table can show. For a fuller breakdown by age and sex, with the method explained, see Statistical Life Left.
