  The biggest difference is the leisure time that accrues to you by retirement. On top of having more money saved, you're almost certainly in much better physical shape than someone who engaged in physically demanding activity for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, for 40 years.

      I suspect acrobats self select as people who look young, as that seems correlated with agility.

(I ran cross country, most of the more dedicated members had at least 1 season where they had to drop out from over-exerting themselves).
