The numbers above (from US official statistics) say that at 72, I have a 2.7% probability of death in 2019, and that 69,574 men are still alive (from 100,000 born in 1947) and that I shall live 12.97 years more. In reality, being an Ashkenazi Jew living in Israel, my numbers are somewhat better, but not much.
It appears probable that I have some five healthy years more to live in health and work and to grow my savings. I cannot think of anything better to do in this time than keep working and teaching, and helping my daughters with their children. My imagination is very limited, I don't want to start business, in fact I have no great expectations at all, my modest aspiration is that the current tranquility in Israel and Middle East continue. And to be left in peace by the taxman, by the neighbors, y my demanding wife. I should give my vote to Bennet, to fight for Ariel University Medical School accreditation, but it is possible that I shall vote for Bibi Netaniyahu, who gave us these years of peace.
