A happy retirement is a blessing earned from working every day for a half century. Being prepared mentally and financially is the key. It also takes a bit of luck. It helps to be married to the same woman for 45 years that has the same ideas and goals that you do, and that participates in the saving plan. Guys with divorces/second families I know, have a real hard go of it. I have been blessed.

It's never too early to start saving for retirement (hey young guys...talking to you!)

I doubt I would have had the good sense to put money way for my retirement when I was young. Fortunately both my wife and I have Federal Government pensions with free lifetime medical benefits.

In Canada there is no income tax deduction for mortgage interest. So like our parents, the baby boomer generation paid off their mortgages as soon as they could. Most also paid the any credit card bills at the end of the month in order not to pay interest. So we retire with pensions, owning their own home, and no debt.

Unfortunately now very few employers have pension and medical benefit packages. Many in the younger generations are also less concerned with debt and retirement, or just cannot afford to do anything about it.
