For Many of America's Aging Workers, 'Retirement Is a Distant Dream' (time.com)
Walter Carpenter walks across the ski resort’s dining room on a knee that needs to be replaced and a hip that’s going bad.

Giving Up a $250k Salary to Retire Early Is Hard (whitecoatinvestor.com)

It’s scary to think about.
