I am aiming at semi-retirement at age 57 (or 56 if I can do it) and all my models assume that I will live to at least 100 years of age, so I voted 46 years & up. My parents and both of my aunts are all in their eighties and all look like sticking around for at least several more years. One of my grandmothers lived to 84.
That may be the wrong number of years as I plan on working part time up until age 70, but I am assuming only a small part of my living expenses ($5000/year) will come from part time work, and my models only assume I will use 1/4 of my projected Social Security benefitk, so if I can't find a job or get fed up with work I'll just spend half of my SS instead of a quarter and that would make up the difference.
