Try this... show some effort too...
Code:
#!/bin/bash

user_list="user1 user2"
today=$( date +%s )
for user in $user_list
do
  curr=$( chage -l $user | awk -F: '/Account Expires/{if(!index($0,"Never")){print $NF}}')
  test -z "$curr" && continue
  exp_date=$( date +%s -d "$curr" )
  ((val=($exp_date-$today)/(60*60*24)))
  [[ $val -eq 5 ]] && echo "$user expires by $curr" >> user_expiry_file
done
