That's true but it doesn't effect what GP said.
Many of us on HN are in professions where we are able to save enough money to live without being productive after the age of 65.
But also many of the people reading this will be 50 years old and have the option to purchase a second (vacation home), or a boat, or a fancy sports car, OR completely secure their retirement. Many of us will choose one of these luxury items and hope everything works out rather than saving for a retirement that could last into our 90's.
