How to work out 55 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 55th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 55-year span covers 13 or 14 of them.
+ 13 or 14 leap days
= 20,088 or 20,089 days
