I know of people who died in their 50s. They worked hard, stayed long hours in the office and were highly stressed. They were planning to retire at 65. All their wealth went to their family members. Their dream to travel the world didn't materialize.

Hard work don't kill, and few people actually die at work. Yes construction workers do die at work due to accidents, but I am sure you are not referring to those.
What is important is to lead meaningful and useful lives. If you believe your work gives meaning to your life then by all means go and work and enjoy it.
To cop out of life by using the excuse of someone who died young (especially without knowing the cause of death) is irresponsible. Make sure you have enough saved up to last your retirement. Retirees in Singapore face 8 years of hardship after savings run out | HSBC Singapore |
