The war years were also lower due to the age of the soldiers.
Say an infant and a 90 year old die. ALE: Just dropped to 45.
Just so you know last month, their were several 87 year olds that passed away. There was one 64 year old and I think one 20-something overdosed.
In October, we lost a 60+ year old. He had a history of living hard.
My own father died when he was 57. He would more than likely still be alive at 77 if he had taken care of himself.
My aunt died earlier this year at the age of 98.
Sorry but 70-80 is not a pipe dream. Now can I recommend you quit trying to dig yourself out of the age hole. You are just getting in deeper.
I have a long history of digging holes or as we called it, putting our foot in our mouth.

It's a pipe dream for a good portion. Didnt say majority or everyone. You are lucky you have a long lived family. Not everyone has great genetics. Add in bad health habits ....dead by 60...lol....
Anyhow...total average life expectancy in Us is apparently 78 years.....that's the average. So I am assuming just under half will die before and the rest live at or beyond....
