I first wrote about this phenomena in 1989 in the 1st edition of Breathing Space, and it is confirmed by a study: “More workers who make saving a habit report better health than those who do not. And it’s not just about having a high income.”
“People who save money out of habit are more confident about retirement and better prepared financially, as you might expect. But there’s a sleeper benefit, new research shows. Consistent savers also are in better health — no small matter as longevity stretches out life spans and means you likely will live in retirement more years than you did in childhood.”
