This is less about frugality and more about the benefits of retirement. I found this article very inspirational. I don't know if it was ever posted on the forum before, but I had read it several years ago, came across it again, and thought I would share.

I remember this article well. I've read at least one of the Blue Zones books and need to look at the others. Thanks for resurfacing it.
