I see it as an amazing savings technology. And savings are what you need when you retire.

What does it mean to retire? When does a man want to do anything other than build and make things happen?
reply
I don't know. I have some friends that retired and didn't like all the free time so they went back to work.
Retirement to me is when you can work on what you want, when you feel like it. You're able to stop doing the "paid" job that you don't like because you have enough savings.

If that's the case, I'm already retired.

Enough savings is how much?

How long are you planning to live? What kinda lifestyle are you happy with? Kids?
My family is living a pretty frugal life in a semi rural area. Turns out we don't really need much to live. But as the kids get older I think there's going to be more to spend on. Like if one of my kids wants to be a doctor, we'll have to pay for it.

i think for most, retirement is the time when you can do the things and build the things you want, that make you happy, but you don't need the month paycheck.
most people are too old and sick to do anything when they actually do retire sadly.

I think if we learned to live with less, and start stacking sats even in small amounts, many of us could have this when we are still young. I love this way now. And it's not because I have tons of savings or anything. I really have none. I just live super simply.
