To that point, I worked with someone who had his "little black book," and kept track of every nickel he put into SS, and his investments for retirement. Every payday, he would make entries, and he planned to retire at age 65. Well, he never made it, and died sometime between age 64 and 65.

This was in the early 70's, prior to the 401-k becoming popular.
