Rob, I think there is a true & false answer to this. It's true for some who have nothing outside of their work & it's false for the ones who have hobbies & other interests outside of their career.

Disagree!!!!

Complacency is the #1 killer. From kids in their teens, even younger, to people that are approaching retirement without being rich.....

Complacency kills!!!

Don't you first have to determine what retirement is? I know many people who are retired.
I myself was retired, ...and came out of retirement. First define retirement.

Brutal relying to social security(which is nothing), brutal not saving or investing, brutal getting into debt trouble with stupid cars and purses.

I have a high yield savings account back in Bangladesh.. Earns me 8%, and I don't even deposit much. Uncle Sam don't know about either.  ;D It's not hard to maintain as I send the money back with people and it's always under $9,999.

I'll be set for retirement.  8)

Trying to be slick against the Irs is dangerous game.  They have a hydra system and will eventually get to you.  Just because you may get away with it now dont think it will last.  Once they get a hold of you the penalties, interest and litigation are a mess to deal with.

i'd like to retire.  I can imagine i'd live way longer if i spent my days on the beach, than at work.

True or false?

I think it is not retirement itself, but rather that sometimes people retire from more than just work; they withdraw socially, intellectually, physically, and spiritually.  Maybe some people lose their will to live.  Not that they intentionally kill themselves - they just gradually stop doing the things that keep humans vibrant.
