[quote=UCGal][quote=no_such_reality]Number eight should be:

8. You’re overweight and you have bad habits. Nothing destroys and prevents wealth like excess weight. Smoking, drinking, and gambling run a solid second. The correlation between weight and bad eating habits that are ironically, quite expensive is fairly strong. Excess weight also damages your earning power, promotions and eventually, leads to catastrophic illnesses that will cripple your earnings, destroy your life and drain your wealth.[/quote]
This fatty disagrees. 🙂
I’m on track for early retirement and a paid off house. And I’m fat.[/quote]

Well, this fatty is doing fine too, but you’re still wrong. Give it time, the weight (not the 5-10 lb kind), will get you. I’m talking the 40% over 40 that are obese and gaining. I’m 100% confident that if I don’t win my battle of the bulge, it will kill me and destroy my finances.
