I came across this article bemoaning how U.S. life expectancies are decreasing as compared to the past and to other countries. The article emphasized the slide in health, noting that 34% of the American population is classified as obese. But I was surprised to learn that women and men at birth are expected to live 81 and 77 years, respectively. To risk stating the obvious, that’s a really long time for your savings to last.
Say you were to retire at 67, which is the earliest you can expect to earn full Social Security benefits (see here for more details). If you’re a guy, you can expect to live another 10 years.

Phoenix-based AMERCO Real Estate Co., U-Haul’s parent company, wants its downtown Johnson City business to stay right where it is, despite the city’s recent condemnation of the property.

Vince Cable, the business secretary for the UK government, says “Rightwing Nutters” in the US pose a a bigger threat to the global economy than the eurozone crisis.
Of course he’s referring to the debt ceiling fight, which is coming closer and closer to the wire.
Cable made the comments on BBC, according to The Guardian, and really, it’s hard to argue with him, given that leaders of different countries in Europe have had an easier time solving their differences than politicians within one country in the US.
