So you're saying to take the $300k to Vegas for hookers and a lethal amount of blow?

Do whatever. My grandfather died from a heart attack in his 40's. I'm just saving up some money for my wife's future boyfriend at this point.

That's an...interesting...way to look at it lol

 
If you started 5 years ago you would have lost half that money by now anyway, so you're not doing too badly. 😉

If you're in an Indian casino and bet on "red", do they kick you out?

Haha, when they ask if you if you want a drink, can you say you want a Firewater and Coke?

On the topic...by the time you get to that age, companies will have pushed back retirement ages by a few years. With people increasingly living longer and the fact that the baby boomer generation just got 20-40% of their nest eggs obliterated, more and more people will be pushing back their retirements and working longer....so much that it will probably increase the average retirement age.
 
What stinks is that the Federal Government is punishing savers. Each time the Fed prints money out of thin air (like for the bank bailout or stimulus plan) the value of the dollar falls. So the value of your nest egg you have been diligently saving all your life and not spending like a baboon will shrink over time. 🙁
