Based on actuarial tables, mid-life (e.g. the point where your current age = your remaining life expectancy) is 38 for men and 40.5 for women. So you are correct.

I don't care myself, as long as I can enjoy some retirement at the end. If I die on the toilet at work or something I will feel cheated.
