Am I missing something? Retirement age is 65. Add 50 years to that, you get...115. I don't know that enough people atain that age to call it routine.
Damn few people retire in their 40's. Unless they've made some very lucerative investments when they were younger. Personally...I don't know of anyone in their 40's that are retired. I do know a few in their 50's, but that's because they were laid off, and have foundit difficult, due to their age, to get on board somewhere else. Retirement wasn't a choice for them. Plus, Social Security doesn't kick in until age 65.
