I came across this bewildering article on MSN and just had to share it.

I suppose it could be the typical click-bait nonsense that we're all used to seeing, but I'm curious to hear what others think of it. A few pertinent quotes:
My favorite quote is that last one. Does this writer actually live in the same world as the rest of us??

I find it funny that we spend most of our lives “retirement planning” or planning for our deaths. How morbid.
Even if my original plan is not to work into retirement, I could always keep working if I needed to. We all have skills we can use to keep working or get a part-time job. I honestly see myself working indefinitely. Not at a corporate job, of course, but maybe as a writer, an artist, a photographer or, heck, maybe I’ll sell fruit at a roadside stand. Who knows?
When all else fails, I simply remind myself that things always work out in the end.
