I do have a copy of that book and while it makes some good points, the jist of it is "live miserably so you can continue to live miserably after you retire - since you're used to it, you won't notice the difference".
No thanks.
I'll live as much as I can now before I'm too old, take a few risks, etc. but also sock some money away when and where I can, try to invest if and when I can and do the best I can to cultivate multiple revenue streams - SS, a pension, some stock funds, a 401k, whatever I get from continuing to do occasional projects (I doubt I'll ever completely stop working - I'd get too bored, I just want to work a lot less and on my own terms because I want to - not because I have to).
I don't consider living like a pauper an option. I'm only getting to do life once - I'd like it to not suck.
