When time is money - and you don't have any

A recent Justin Timberlake science-fiction movie called In Time had the premise that, in the future, people will only live as long as they can pay for time. If your credit expires, so do you. The movie was not up to much, but the concept was compelling.

It reflects the fact that people need cash to live, and that extreme poverty in old age leaves people vulnerable. So, while people don't expire the minute their credit runs out, as in the Timberlake movie, there is certainly a link between money and longevity.
