    my life partner, had a coworker suddenly die in their sleep, for no decernable reason. they were 32 and in near perfect health. exercised, are healthy, had good work/life balance and didn’t use drugs…

    reality’s is cruel, there is a reason billionaires set the retirement age so late…

    live today, tomorrow is not garuanteed. that’s why they are working you to death today.

      See this is why I just do what I do. My ticket is going to get punched regardless eventually, and if the trade off to claw back a few extra years at the end of the line is to be miserable eating plain cheerios and running on a treadmill for 3 hours a day, they can have those years and Ill just be happy while Im living.

      Thus far…knock on wood…its served me well.
