Well but 50 makes sense though you are kinda useless in your first 20-25 years then you start working acquiring experience etc 25 years later you are in the middle then 25 years later you die

It makes sense if you look at it like that

73 years is the life expectancy of a men in the US. Females tend to get 5-6 years older than men.

Ethnicity, as well as economic resources also play a huge role.

Even your zip code is an indicator:

If I understand this correctly, it's life expectancy at birth, right? So if you read this, the relevant-to-you life expectancy is even lower. Though AFAIK you also get a "bonus" for still being alive, so it's probably a wash ...
