In 1970, when I set out on my wealth creation, people retired at 60 or 65, and life expectancy was only 3 years longer for men, at 68. Then, it was common for sales people to go around selling life insurance where you can contribute all your life and be paid for 20 years after you retired. The life companies, of course, knew that you can only collect for 3!
Few people then would bother accumulating wealth for their retirement, “Why bother, I’m only going to live for 3 years after I retire anyway! “One of these salesmen was Merv McCullough, who unsuccessfully tried to sell me this insurance. In the process, we became good friends and soon, Merv was buying property off me, and then with me. It was Merv that pointed out that life companies know about the real life expectancy and gave the second most impressive statistics I’ve ever learned.
Merv said “of the actuaries behind the companies know the average person retires at 65 and dies at 68 (males) they know, that if a male retires at 55, they will live for the same life span of a woman - which at the time would give you a few more years. So impressed with this statistic that Merv gave me his life plan, and that was to only work until 55 and then to make sure he had enough wealth to carry him on for another 30 years. Merv agreed with me, Property was the way to go.
Merv rang me just the other day for one of our regular chats. Merv is now a bright 92, and while he’s given away bowls , he still enjoys a game of golf. Merv has just given away his license, living in an ideal location with a resort lifestyle. After Merv turned 55 I tried many times to entice Merv back, but no! Merv had done a perfect job of planning his future 50 years ahead!
How old are you? How long do you expect to live? Now the average age is pushing late 80’s and is anticipated that the average age will pass 100 years old. Given this longer life span after retirement, how are you going to enjoy those many years?
