I plan on retiring somewhere around 65, so another 30 years or so. Will I have enough money to retire? Tough to say, I'm on my own (and loving it), so I don't have the benefit of a second income to help pay for things. I'm investing regularly in my RRSP and TFSAs and doing some stock trading on the side for fun, but the mortgage will be a while yet for sure. I could also stand to put more into my investments, hopefully this year with my car paid off. Long term, I just want to live in my own townhouse in San Diego. Perhaps I'm in an inheritance somewhere that will help this dream, haha!
That said, if things get dicey and retirement isn't in my cards / the world is a totally different place in 30 years, I'll just spend half my money on traveling the world and having memorable experiences, give the other half to whatever family remains or make some donations to my fave charities, then do what Ozy suggested - one way ticket to Switzerland for a personal visit to a Sarco Pod (which I'm totally comfortable with as my last decision).
