FIRE doesn't require plastic surgery! Or expensive anti-aging products!
As this TIME article shows, people over 40 or 50 are spending tons of money to look younger so they can successfully compete in the job market:
How Not to Look Old on the Job - TIME
The actual TIME article in the magazine shows the following procedures and costs:
tooth lengthening $1500 to $1800 per tooth
butt lift and implant- $4500 (butt lifts increased 60% in men from 2000 to 2006)
neck tuck $4800
knee tightening $500
earlobe repair $500 to $800 per ear
extreme hand makeover $300 to $1500 for lasers; $2,000 for fillers
Just some more stuff to set people back even further away from being to retire (although AARP insists that 79% of boomers plan to work during the traditional retirement work---not clear if this is by choice or not).
And aside from the cost and the pain of these procedures, do they really make people actually look younger? Or, at the most, well-maintained and looking like they "had some work done?"
