We spend so much time focused on building financial security; 401(k)s, investments, savings goals. But here’s a hard truth:
Your health is the foundation your wealth stands on.
Without energy, mobility, and vitality, all the money in the world doesn’t buy you time, freedom, or a meaningful life.
Enter the “Marginal Decade”
The marginal decade refers to the last 10 years of your life.
The question is:
Will those 10 years be empowered… or dependent?
Will you be living fully—traveling, walking unassisted, playing with your grandkids—or managing medications, bouncing between appointments, and struggling with basic tasks?
The difference isn’t always genetics.
It’s mostly the choices you make now.
Health Is a Compound Investment
Just like compound interest builds wealth over time, your daily habits compound into either strength or sickness.
Every decision—what you eat, how you move, how you manage stress—is a deposit or withdrawal on your future.
You wouldn’t wait until retirement to start saving. So why wait until you’re in pain or on medications to start taking your health seriously?
“I’ll Worry About That Later” Is a Trap
Many people think they’ll get healthy after they’ve “made it”—after the business grows, after the kids move out, after the next big thing.
But the longer you wait, the more effort it takes to reverse course.
The truth is:
You don’t get your time back. But you can get your health back—if you start now.
