People like this guy and all the other millionaire celebrities have no concept of what it's like to live in the real world.

It's easy to give advice when you don't have to follow it yourself.

If Sir Richard doesn't think retirement should be the goal, then Sir Richard shouldn't retire.

He should also keep his nose out of my life and my retirement.

I think we're taking his statement too literally.

yes - he didn't say "don't retire". He said to go through life living and learning. Well, that is what I got out of it. And I do try to learn new things.

Okay than how would you take this statement he wrote in his blog?

Quote:
"I don't believe that retirement should be the goal," he wrote in a recent blog post.
Personally I don't think he need do anything. Look at what the self made blow hard does. He buys and oversees companies making millions on the backs of laborers. He don't give a rat's tushy about the people that work in those companies. He flies around the world sleeping in 5 star hotels and resorts. He eats at the best restaurants. I don't think he has ever had to live on Mac and Cheese for any length of time. He wears the finest clothes and golfs as often as I do and I am retired. So to over think his statement is a bit much.
