Retirement?
A few months ago my cousin questioned the virtue retirement. As a physician and successful investor, although his work will change, he never wants to stop working.
It's good to note that with a successful private practice in Richmond, VA, he will have no problem 'retiring' if he wants to.
Similarly, colleagues, friends, and the media have a tendency to characterize 'retirement' investing. Isn't it true that we invest for life? Investing is a lifestyle, not something we do to achieve a lifestyle.
How many people want to retire on a beach with no responsibility or other investments except for bonds? This seems to be the notion of retirement held by the population at large.
