This is very wrong. Seneca did most of his writing as an old man. I believe he was in his 50s. You can certainly secure yourself earlier in today’s world. Furt

This is very wrong. Seneca did most of his writing as an old man. I believe he was in his 50s. You can certainly secure yourself earlier in today’s world. Furthermore, a tiny fraction of Romans were able to achieve wealth enough to retire. Meanwhile, in today’s world, virtually anyone can do it. (Before anyone pipes up to argue with that last point, I used to work in restaurant kitchens. All the Mayan and southern Mexican dudes working for minimum wage were on track to retire in the next 10 years. They lived extremely cheaply and bought land where they could afford.)
