It seems strange to me that the comments on this thread are so dismissive of retirement. Retirement is FU money for the average man. Planning for retirement doesn't have to mean ignoring the present, or wasting away on a beach in Boca when you hit 65. What it does mean is having the ability to do or work on whatever you want. By the time you hit sixty and realize you've only got another ten or so good years left on this earth, that kind of freedom is going to seem like the most precious thing in the world.
