• Retire at 55 → people live to about 83
• Retire at 65 → life expectancy drops to 76

By waiting just 10 more years… you could lose 7 YEARS of life.

Why?
Stress destroys your health.
Your best years shouldn’t belong to your boss.

The real goal isn’t to retire at 65.
It’s to be free by 55 — or earlier.

that is ten year of fun, boss fry sotong also no sked since over retirement age

but being active prolonged your life expectancy too.

Mamak retire as PM at age 94, continue to live till 100 and beyond

Retire at 65, engine needs overhaul for retirement

55 is ideal, can have 15 good healthy years to 70. Do 5y semi, 10y full active fun & leisure

You want to active with stress or active with free mind ?

Not just shorter length of retirement, but also quality of body and mind already down the drain. By the time finally retire, already pain here pain there, enjoy what retirement…

but no money how to live?

Follow the money, if you want to know who benefit from this decision...owai

Exactly, if got enough money can retire at any age you want. 65 yo is just the ceiling age for retirement, not necessary to follow and work until 65. So what’s the point of this topic ah?

Gov policy should give people choice to retire 55 or if they wish to further contribute up to 65. No such thing a one size fits all.

Me personally I would prefer retiring at 55, but hopefully finance are sound

And world bank wanna our gov increase retirement age to 65. We die then epf hard earned money they take ...fakk

Healthspan >>>>>>> lifespan

i wish to retire by 55. and yolo all the way

stress is the number 1 killer, imagine the extra 10 years working stress done to your body.

by then u maybe have MORE $$$, but not much quality time to spend those hard earn money.

those work until 70, probably will get a heart attack along the way, no time to spend hard earn money.

wow... so interesting...
last time, the story was always if retire early, die early....
work till 80 means longer life...

this new stats about retiring earlier live longer.... is refreshing and new....

If can I want to retire before 55...seriously, work can be bad for health..if yr job is easy, goyang kaki type with no mgmt BS, then go ahead till 60..

Most of us dont work in that ideal world..always hv to deal with mgmgt BS...

i want see statistics amount of sex per week vs total life span.

I infer that more regular healthy sex life is main determination factor of life span.

sekian.

Why need to live very long to suffer when old man health cannot even cover by insurance?
