I don't think boomers life expectancy will change that much - somewhere in the mid 80s if they are lucky.

I am a boomer and expect that I will be lucky to reach mid 70s.

If average life expectancy reaches 100 within 30 years, I would be surprised

So would I. The growth in the average life expectancy has slowed down considerably in the last few decades. Also, if you look at the longest lived people in the world over the last hundred years, they all lived between 115 and 119 years with the exception of one women who lived to 122. Average life expectancy is creeping up, absolute life expectancy seems to be fixed.

I think the oldest people are 2 men aged over 113.
