If you don't believe me there a list of lottery winners that pissed away millions some with 50 plus million and now live off welfare.

Plus I know lot of people that didn't plan for retirement and now are losing everything. Try getting a job at 60-70 that will pay well enough to live comfortably and enjoy life.

Don't get me wrong I understand were your coming from, but the older I get the less important toys are and the more important my post retirement income is so I can enjoy the toys that I have amassed or buy new ones.
I plan on working into my 50's, but retiring any earlier than that would just get boring. If I had a million bucks handed to me tomorrow, I'd buy some toys and bank at least half.
