How many people on this planet have that opportunity? Would I do it? I don't know, but I am planning for 60. I've got a military pension kicking in at 58 years old that's going to pay me $75,000 a year so that's worth $1.5M in the bank at a 5% withdrawal. How much money do you possibly need? You can't take it with you when you die and I definitely don't plan on leaving my spoiled kids that kind of money so they think they don't have to work hard for what they earn.
