By the way, this "Freedom 55" crap was some marketing scheme to get people to invest.
If you are going to live until 80 (give or take a few years), why does 25 of it have to be on the golf course or sitting around relaxing?
Many of the most interesting people in their older years are still working because they love it, or because they get a gratifying feeling from it.
I love golf as much as the next guy, but doing it for 25-30 years straight just to say you retired at 55 is, well . . . boring. Even this Freedom 65 is sort of a poor way of looking at life. At least IMO.
