My early 50s had me in the best shape of my life, running 6 miles or biking 25-50 miles nearly every day and being ripped and weighing less than I had since I was a teenager. I’m nearing 60 now and arthritis is creeping into all my joints, though. The breakdown happens eventually no matter how successfully you stave it off.
I had some things start failing at 35, but recovered a bit and feel better now at 45.
But I quit my soul crushing desk job career and had a kid in those intervening years too.
So basically I traded financial security for healthy life and family time.

Thanks for the hope homie.
