A doctor told me the other day retiring by 55 means there's a good chance you'll live at least an extra ten years beyond the norm.
So . . . . . retire at 55 and live to 120 means you'd have 65 years of fishing to do.
What would be your quality of life from say, 85 to 120? Would you really want those extra 35 years?
Sometimes old folks simply tire of life, even become bored with it, and just will themselves to death.
