9. I retired at 58 with 3X, and still have almost all of it a decade later, I nearly never touch it.

And in fact almost all of money I've ever taken out of my retirement I've given to others who were in trouble or given to my son to help him with a house he is building.

I notice that several of the replies above don't seem to distinguish between earnings and wealth. Its a common problem but one that sort of ends any conversation on either finance or economics, two subjects that most people don't know seem to understand there is a difference between either.
