Fortune Teller Logic From an American Magazine
Louis Dublin of Propolitan Life Insurance explains life length and marriage odds for a 20 year old man. He cites averages: a 20 year old has an even chance to live to 69, life expectancy rising, 75 percent of this year’s births reach age 50, 25 percent reach 78, and a sweetheart age 20 will outlive him by three years. He cites four in five odds of finding work and a 50–50 chance of a good income. He predicts a 9 in 10 chance of marriage within five years, but warns that marrying someone as young as 20 is unlikely to yield lasting harmony. If married at 25 with a 22 year old wife, three of four couples reach the silver wedding. divorce risk is high, but having children offers protection. He projects three children, and notes men dying sooner if not married, with a healthier home environment for married life.
