Basically, you are saving with the hope that you die before you run out of money. An alternative solution would be to look for income that is passive and build upon that. <br> My 2 cents,<br>Dustin There's a fundamental problem with “saving” for retirement.

I also refuse to get any "outside" help as I do not believe in it. <br>So, while I might be "screwed" when I'm 65, like MILLIONS of us will be, at least I got my pride knowing I didn't take any welfare handouts that so many like to do....in this country.

Some it's because they want to, others because they need to. Still, others it's for the health insurance! So it's not all about the money, but having sound financial plans is definitely a must.

Who retires at 55? only CEOs and software designers. Try that whole touching base with the real world again.
