Good news and bad news about being 90 (in the US):

http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/aging_population/cb11-194.html
http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/reaching-90-with-only-three-prescriptions

The good news: more than half of this population can perform basic functions such as dressing and bathing without assistance. The bad news: 40% have cognitive difficulties. (If you thought the 40% number was even higher, then maybe this too is good news.)

“The efficient-market hypothesis may be
the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated
in any area of human knowledge!”
