these days. And quite a few people near retirement who have been good at saving money get to this point by the time they are 80. However, they don't often have much access to that money since it is in the stock market. They are only getting a bit of it at a time. I am sure they feel secure but they can't get to crazy spending it or they can go through that much pretty fast.
