For those that think retirement is the best, think again. I know of a few people that had plans for what they would do if they could retire. When they got the opportunity they started strong but from what I've seen they are just drifting. They don't have to do anything so they don't. They have enough money to live a middle-class life and they just hang out most of the time. They don't have any real goals or the pressure to create them. Dreams are great but if you don't have the pressure to make them come true it's easy to just give up. They have 30+ years at least of what they call retirement.
Is it good? Is it bad? That's up to each to decide.
