That blog post is spot on. It's funny, but when I was a kid the philosophy about retirement was that by that time, the house would be paid off and expenses would be lower because the kids were on their own. It was anticipated that retirement income was lower, but now everybody thinks they have to retire as millionaires. They put their money into investment schemes instead of tangible assets, like the tools needed to be more self-sufficient. Dan and I aren't living a life of leisure by most standards, but we have things to do that keep us physically and mentally active, and make us feel productive at the end of the day.
