Abstract

A lifestyle management tool may determine a first work optional date, wherein the first work optional date is a date in which a user'"'"'s retirement income is greater than a user'"'"'s expense. The tool may also receive past health characteristics of the user, current health current characteristics of the user, and future health characteristics of the user. The tool may further derive an estimated date of death of the user based on the received health characteristics of the user. The tool may also calculate the net present value of the user'"'"'s income less expenses each year from the first work optional date until the estimated date of death. The tool may also determine a second work optional date, wherein the second work optional date is a date in which the net present value of the user'"'"'s income moves from negative to positive.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, using at least one processor, a first work optional date, wherein the first work optional date is a date in which a user'"'"'s retirement income is greater than a user'"'"'s expenses;

receiving, using the at least one processor, past health characteristics of the user, current health current characteristics of the user, and future health characteristics of the user;

deriving, using the at least one processor, an estimated date of death of the user based on the received health characteristics of the user;

calculating, using the at least one processor, the net present value of the user'"'"'s income less expenses each year from the first work optional date until the estimated date of death; and

determining, using the at least one processor, a second work optional date, wherein the second work optional date is a date in which the net present value of the user'"'"'s income moves from negative to positive.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

retrieving an expected date of death of the user based on a current age of the user; and

wherein deriving the estimated date of death comprises;

calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user; and

applying the life expectancy adjustment to the expected date of death of the user.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user comprises:

calculating a first adjustment based on the received past health characteristics of the user;

calculating a second adjustment based on the received current health characteristics of the user; and

calculating a third adjustment based on the received future health characteristics of the user.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

comparing the first work optional date and the second work optional date; and

determining a potential retirement date of the user based on the comparison.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

receiving updated health characteristics of the user; and

updating the potential retirement date of the user based on the updated health characteristics of the user.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

transmitting data representing a coaching report with a suggested life change to a user terminal; and

calculating the impact of the suggested life change on the potential retirement date of the user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the health characteristics is an exercise frequency.

8. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a storage medium with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to;

determine a first work optional date, wherein the first work optional date is a date in which a user'"'"'s retirement income is greater than a user'"'"'s expenses;

receive past health characteristics of the user, current health current characteristics of the user, and future health characteristics of the user;

derive an estimated date of death of the user based on the received health characteristics of the user;

calculate the net present value of the user'"'"'s income less expenses each year from the first work optional date until the estimated date of death; and

determine a second work optional date, wherein the second work optional date is a date in which the net present value of the user'"'"'s income moves from negative to positive.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising instructions to:

retrieve an expected date of death of the user based on a current age of the user; and

wherein deriving the estimated date of death comprises;

calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user; and

applying the life expectancy adjustment to the expected date of death of the user.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user comprises:

calculating a first adjustment based on the received past health characteristics of the user;

calculating a second adjustment based on the received current health characteristics of the user; and

calculating a third adjustment based on the received future health characteristics of the user.

11. The system of claim 8, further comprising instructions to:

compare the first work optional date and the second work optional date; and

determine a potential retirement date of the user based on the comparison.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising instructions to:

receive updated health characteristics of the user; and

update the potential retirement date of the user based on the updated health characteristics of the user.

13. The system of claim 11, further comprising instructions to:

transmit data representing a coaching report with a suggested life change to a user terminal; and

calculate the impact of the suggested life change on the potential retirement date of the user.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the health characteristics is an exercise frequency.

15. A machine-readable storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

determine a first work optional date, wherein the first work optional date is a date in which a user'"'"'s retirement income is greater than a user'"'"'s expenses;

receive past health characteristics of the user, current health current characteristics of the user, and future health characteristics of the user;

derive an estimated date of death of the user based on the received health characteristics of the user;

calculate the net present value of the user'"'"'s income less expenses each year from the first work optional date until the estimated date of death; and

determine a second work optional date, wherein the second work optional date is a date in which the net present value of the user'"'"'s income moves from negative to positive.

16. The storage device of claim 15, further comprising instructions to:

retrieve an expected date of death of the user based on a current age of the user; and

wherein deriving the estimated date of death comprises;

calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user; and

applying the life expectancy adjustment to the expected date of death of the user.

17. The storage device of claim 16, wherein calculating a life expectancy adjustment based on the received health characteristics and the age of the user comprises:
