Don't you love those ads on TV for "financial planners" where one of the things they show you is: What is your dream? What if money were no object? ... and the answer is "start a vineyard." Get real.
I think the point is: If you keep working, you keep consuming at a higher level... and consumerism is good for everyone!

Im pretty sure when we retire we will spend more than we do working.
At least in the early years anyway.
If your active and enjoy doing things time cost money and one thing we will have plenty of is time.* Geesh we cant go out the door on a saturday without dropping a hundred bucks somewhere somehow. Just meeting the kids for a diner lunch is 50 bucks.
