    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the long term financial benefits associated with maintaining health and describes how losing weight, quitting smoking and exercising can prevent the need for costly health services in retirement. It is believed that focusing on health may be more important than focusing on wealth. The author explains that one should not stop saving, however, and that a person's state of health will determine a savings goal.
