Good, and bleak, point about dying once you retire. I wonder how retirement costs compare to lifelong cost of being obese. According to stats cited by the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/causes/economics.html http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/causes/economics.html) about 9.1% of medical costs can be attributed to treating conditions associated with being overweight or obese.
