[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t max out. Retirement is for blue collar workers. I don’t plan to retire. Rich people don’t retire, they continue work.
I save money for things that I need but not for retirement.[/quote]

This is interesting.  I'm not a blue collar worker and I can't wait until I have enough money to retire.  I'm 47 and hoping to be done by 57. But you point made me think of a few people. So there are financial advisors on TV like Suzy Orman or more locally Ric Edelman on WMAL on the weekends...why the hell don't they retire.  Same with Mike Collins who is a estate planning attorney on WMAL on the weekends that does free seminars.  He's older than dirt and probably have more money that all of us.  Why doesn't he retire.  I see all sort of old ass people in my office building, etc.  I don't understand why they are still working.  Why don't rich people retire?[/quote]

Exactly. Warren Buffett is 88 yo and he is still working. Our president is 72 and still working. Many members of congress are over 70 and don’t want to retire.
The poor and the middle class are the ones who are obsessed about retiring from work. [/quote]

Most people will never lay on their deathbeds wishing they had worked more. But for the few most elite blue collar workers, that’s not necessarily true.

I’m a lawyer and I wish I could work twice the hours I do a day. I’d love to do far more pro bono, more impact litigation, more of everything. [/quote]
