And Falana Patterson is the Wall Street Journal's head of news audio.
Thanks for listening.
Here's your money briefing for Thursday, January 9th.
I'm J.R.
Whelan for The Wall Street Journal.
Saving money can boost the size of your nest egg and make you feel better about the future.
But what about living a longer life?
Reporter Joe Pinsker covers the pursuit of happiness for the WSJ's personal finance team.
He'll join us after the break.
As the saying goes, the rich get richer, but many of them live longer lives.
Wall Street Journal reporter Joe Pinsker looked into the research behind that, and he joins me.
Joe, according to research you cited that was published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, once Americans make it to their late 50s, the wealthiest 10% live to a median age of around 86 years.
That's roughly 14 years longer than the least wealthy 10%.
Why do wealthy people tend to live longer?
But is it only money that can extend someone's longevity?
Now, what's the correlation between money and longevity as people age?
Now, for those of us who aren't ultra-wealthy or have a high net worth, what could we spend on to add extra years to our lives?
I've done ballroom dancing.
Does that mean, Joe, that me and my two left feet are in for a long life?
Okay, that's the best news I've heard all day.
