    I wasn’t able to start saving for retirement until my 30s, so I’ve joked for a while that my retirement plan is to die early. It’s not so much of a joke anymore.

      yeah, I’m with you-- I’m coming up on retirement age. The choice is to go along with our abysmal system or topple it and topple my life savings/social security and a lifetime of being thrifty.
