I'm not sure why so many in that community expired just after their retirement. My ex father in law didn't make one year after he retired.

This is one of my reasons for stopping now at 61.
My FIL retired at 56 and his health at the time seemed OK, but he was dead at 58.
He was a heavy smoker and drinker and worked in grain dust his whole carrier, so when his lungs and kidney decided they had enough he was gone in weeks.
