Excellent article. Burns doesn't seem to have an agenda; he apparently tries to tell it like it is. Mon Dieu!

As far as expenses in retirement, it has to be more expensive to play golf 4 days a week then to go to work. One of the cheapest possible ways to live is to be so busy at work that you don't have the time or energy for doing anything else. Or maybe be a contract worker on a pipeline someplace where you will either get your ass frozen or shot off if you leave the company compound.

That said, I imagine a relatively small number of retires can afford a lot of golf, or world travel. We on this board have likely been more exposed to that kind of life than most, so we may overweight it in our minds.
