The news
from the CDC on life expectancy is another increase
Almost 79
years before last rites to be expected from a priest
The bad news
is that most people have not saved enough
Living on Social
Security only will be for many very tough
Living
longer than one’s assets will not be a pretty sight
Many in their
70’s will have trouble sleeping at night
The other
news should be a cause for grave excuse the pun concern
Nine of the top ten causes of death are in decline save the tenth in an
upturn
Suicides are on the rise a sign of continuing economic worry and despair
Just look at the bus benches or parks to see the hopeless and the homeless
in a world that does not seem to care.
