Married people live 7 years longer on average, whereas the same cannot be the same for heroin users. So the two are probably not interchangeable!

Married
people. People who
stay

Correlation vs causation. Also, those statistics are from a different time. Let's compare divorced vs never-married to get a fairer picture.

That doesn't sound appealing. Taking a huge risk for something that can potentially ruin my finances for an extended period of time in exchange for maybe 7 more years of living.
No thanks. That is not a good deal.
