Parlay you're not listening. Those are just averages that factor in absurdly high infant mortality rates.
If you take a look at "Life expectancy of those who survived to age 21" the number jumps way way up to 60+.
Always look at the median rate.
If warren buffet joins this forum the "average net worth" goes into stupidity.
