I can’t tell you how many times I thought, “My property is killing me.” Raking literally tons of leaves, working on my roof, cleaning gutters, shoveling snow, etc. This study shows I had it backwards. My house is keeping me alive longer. After I nearly stepped backwards off my roof working on shingles, I never would have thought that.
This article is about a study that found home ownership increases longevity:

A few surprising tidbits: Life expectancy benefits look like they remain the same regardless of the value of the property. Rich folk don’t get a bigger benefit. Women live longer than guys. That makes sense to me. Read the article for more revelations. 
Have Fun!!!
