For once, Slava, I agreed with you wholeheardedly. I met some dreamers who constantly talk about freedom 40 or 45. What are you going to do with the other 30-40 of your life not working?

I do not completely stay out of work as I wouldn't know what to do with my time. And retirement might actually cost me more money as I'll be constantly travelling and doing stuff. The key is to find a line of work that is tolerable and pays well.

I think of movie stars who rarely retire when I think of retirment. If I can get a well paid gig that's worth my trouble, why would I ever want to retire?
