Many life expectancy tables are from birth, which can be a little misleading. You have a lot of infant mortality, even in the USA, and then every year young people die in accidents and overdoses and general health stuff.

I prefer using mortality tables, which take into account that a 55 year old has already survived 54 years. According to Social Security, your life expectancy is 79.

Their table isn't quite labeled right for our purposes. The column should be called "remaining life expectancy" rather than "life expectancy".
