How the date 70 months ago is calculated

To count whole months, move the month number and keep the same day of the month. If the target month is shorter, for example going from the 31st into a 30-day month or into February, the date is set to the last day of that month. This is the same rule used by banks, spreadsheets and most programming libraries.
