It's the money, stupid

Who says money can't buy you health?  Below is the list of the average age of death of citizens of various countries.  Look who is at the top.  Good old Monaco. See? Being rich is good for your health. Which should motivate everyone to get out there and make as much money as possible.

Remember the words of the old song:

What happens when you're 70,
Must come a time, 70,
When you're old and it's cold
And who cares if you live or you die.
Your only consolation's the money
You may have put by.
