A FReeper buddy sent this to me. Pretty interesting data to say the least. Glad I'm retiring in 5 years!

So if you smoke, eat fast food, and work until the age of 65, you will be dead by 40.

What a neat chart! I wish I had seen a few years ago when I privately investigated the same stats at the large NY corporation where I worked. When I reported my results, the HR people laughed and said I had made up the results. The stats I found are virtually the same as those on the chart. Most of our company's retirees who left at ages between 60 and 65 died before they got their 18th monthly check! Mama mia! I left at 58 so I lost only 6 years of life span, give or take a couple of years. It would be best to retire at 40. Save up!
