Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

Thats gotta be like 85 vs 84.5. I can't imagine dying earlier makes that much difference
those are some funny numbers. Where’d you get them? Do you really think everyone’s living to 85? most people die in their seventies. The difference in life expectancy for those in the bottom economic bracket vs the top bracket is 15 years for men and 10 years for women.

I got them from my ass. But googling around, seems once you get past infancy, your life expectancy goes way up, but heavily depends on the site. Hell, I'm only 28 and I'm supposed to live to 99 years old according to one of them.
yeh there are many factors in the estimate, a lot of estimates assume that you’re leading a fairly comfortable life and have the ability to see a doctor when you need one. This is not the reality for many americans. The article I linked factors in economic class and gives you a more honest number. I’m 43, and haven’t had a doctor in 20+ years. I’ll be lucky to make it to seventy.
