I put in that I was born in 1901, and it still told me that I still had "a long way to go"

#12I'm surprised and sad that 15% of my cohort is dead already. 8(
It says a dollar in the year I was born (1963) is the same as $8.4 today
As a reminder to myself about the meaning of hard money... I carry around a 1901 dollar... minted in New Orleans, that you might have got as change in 1963.... that's worth $19.20 melt value today. More than twice the $8.4 amount.
Not in my wallet is a 1852 dollar... worth $84.48 today in melt value. It's too soft, and too darned tiny.

#13I can't click the Go button after entering the date. I am on Firefox.
Beware, it uses Month/Day/Year which is some strange format hopefully nobody else uses.
It is USA only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

#14Apparently it can’t handle dates in 2020. Got a lot of NaNs…

#15Wow two consecutive days on the front page Neal Agarwal. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.
Re: Life Stats
#16The S&P is up 1000%+ since I was born. I hope the $100,000 I put in an index fund for my daughter when she was born recently has the same performance.

I feel slightly threatened ;)

And inflation slows down!

It’s hard to give an exact answer without more granular data than I can find given that it changes year to year. However, very approximately:
0.5 percentage points (pp) infant deaths (birth defects, delivery complications, neonatal death, etc.) 6.5 pp deaths under 5 from infectious disease (primarily pneumonia and diarrheal diseases) 0.5 pp injuries (fairly evenly split among homicide, suicide, drowning, road accidents, other accidents, but with the last two taking somewhat larger shares)
Over the next decades most in your cohort will die from heart disease, stroke, or COPD.
