[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1483992, member: 249"] That is the one caveat I suppose is the uncertainty of life. Nobody can prepare for what they can't see coming, but honestly this applies to a very small percentage of people. Not to mention that it looks like these people highlighted in the article didn't have anything saved and relied on their pensions entirely to fund their retirement which would make such unforeseen circumstances much worse. There will be bumps in the road no doubt, but life must go on and if you don't feel you have enough saved then don't retire. I hear people complaining all the time about the high seniority drivers who have enough time to leave but choose to stay. I say they earned the right to stay as long as they wish and maybe some are like those you mentioned and simply can't. Others just have lifestyles that can't be financed by a pension that will only pay half or less of their current income. Instead of looking for excuses not too prepare we should look at these people as examples of why preparation is key to the retirement we all want. [/QUOTE]
