Just discovered your site. I completely agree re: retirement. Plus, wanting to retire assumes that you don't really like what you're doing for a living because you want to stop doing it eventually. Sure, when I'm older I might want to slow down a bit, but I do my work because I absolutely love it, not because there's some kind of pay off at the end. Hi. Just discovered your site.

Which is what our parents/teachers/leaders would've wanted isn't it? But if that's true, why do I still feel there's resentment towards us for it?

I completely agree. It seems like the older generation had a "slog through work and prepare for retirement" attitude which I am completely unable to understand. I want to enjoy my work so much that I don't want to stop at 65. That's a goal that makes sense to me. Holly: awesome comment. I completely agree.

Maybe the reason we don't save toward retirement is because we don't see a definite line drawn between our work and our life. Maybe we're not happy with punching away the hours in a career, biding our time, waiting to do what we really want to do when we turn 65. In my circle of friends, we aren't relying on traditional retirement methods. We want to be financially free, not rationed on a smaller salary than we had when we were working. We want our money to work for us, not the other way around. Finally, we want to be free financially much younger, say by 40, for me personally. And what financially free means is that I have the choice to do whatever work I choose because my expenses are covered by my investments.
