Also, retire early
Lol, what a pipedream. People these days are lucky to be able to retire at all.

True, the implied was "if you can".

Definitely. My grandfather died like 3 years into his retirement. His early death was kinda avoidable (he had a pretty unhealthy lifestyle and avoided going to doctors even though it’s fairly cheap in our country), but even people with healthy lifestyles can die early from accidents or diseases.
On the flipside, my grandmother is still doing pretty well more than a decade later. But she’d probably prefer spending her retirement with her husband.
