    Did you know, in 1916 the average life expectancy in America was 49.6 years for males and 54.3 years for females? Today, those numbers have greatly increased to 76.4 and 81.2, respectively (CDC). As a result, by 2030, roughly 31 million Americans will be older than 75, the largest such population in American history (U.S. Census Bureau projections). Examine the revolution in the U.S. and the world as the average age continues to rise.
