I'm approaching my mid-fifties and I had always been really concerned with "the number", both age and $$$. Perhaps weirdly, the closer I get to the number, the less I am concerned with it and really the question is whether I am doing something that I enjoy. At my current station in life, I want to keep working and improving on the nest egg. I don't see much point in retiring until the kids are older and going to work loses its appeal. Obviously it helps that I think I am on the right track to reach my financial goal, but I wouldn't put to much pressure on anyone to strive for freedom 55, 60 or whatever number at an earlier age. Things change, so best to find work that you like, save for the future and don't get too worked up about finishing (relatively) early.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
