Oh, I clicked the link. My life is almost 50% complete.

However, the expected lifetimes are obviously too low. It expects me to end up at approximately age 80, but that is an underestimation. I dont know if the lifetimes that are used are just outdated, or if they lack expected mortality improvements.

Yeah I figured that 80 was a pretty good approximation because the average life expectancy in the US is 77. It surprisingly doesn't increase as much I would have expected as you age so I didn't account for that effect.

77 is the average life expectancy for all people. If one enters the website at 40 their life expectancy is much higher, since they are already 40

Can you make a variant for relative passing time?

You probably barely remember anything up to around 10, and then each doubling of age adds one logarithmical unit

So 10 is 1, 20 is 2, 40 is 3 and 80 is 4 (or maybe 0, 1 and 2?)

20 is already half of life passed by -_-
