Yep.
I personally can't fathom paying someone else...to manage/invest MY money.
At the same time, budgeting to take those occasional vacations or doing those things that are really important to you, while you're still young and able enough to fully enjoy...should not be ignored.
A long life is not guaranteed any of us and seeing/reading of those people who die shortly before or after retirement, while scrimping and denying themselves all of their lives...is sadly all too common.
While I am one of the lucky ones that dosesn't have to worry about my old age finances, if I could no longer post here because I fell over dead tomorrow (don't get your hopes up...and you know who you are
)...I wouldn't have a single regret.
