When I was in the AFP I saw many many friends work shift work all their lives, refuse to consider early retirement so they could build up their nest egg and then they retired at 65 and I attended their funeral within 3 yrs. Food for thought?

You're right mate - it is most definitely about the journey - well said. Even so, we do have to make some sort of assumption that we're still gonna be around after working age, and will therefore need to pay our way - and enjoy ourselves. We probably shouldn't assume we'll have snuffed it at an early age. Try to cater for some of each maybe
