Have you seen those guys that live longer than they expect? The depressed geriatric at Wal-Mart. Old dude in a crappy apartment in a dirty wife beater? I met a couple going through awful cancer treatments living in an RV in a trailer park in Calgary and they were too cold at night so I was helping them add insulation to their RV. An underfunded retirement is a way scarier future to me than knocking off early.
