I prepare myself for retirement, that doesn't mean I will. I like to work, and I am not a rich boy. I do the prep because as age, medical things come alone with and we here specially in USA, medical bills are way too expensive, and you lose your undies in just one thing. People here lose their houses etc because of it. Unsustainable.
For America standards, I am way too young for retirement but to get a job then they see us as too old and don't want to pay experience and else.
