What age is Midlife?


Some will argue whether 40 is the benchmark to midlife. According to CDC.gov the average life expectancy for a white American male at age 40 in 2004 is 77.9 years. Given this data, my calculation on when actual midlife begins for the same subject would be age 38.9. These numbers are not meant to make you feel old nor are they the purpose for this blog, but rather to help you put into perspective what stage of life you are in today.
