Poll on MSN.com

Clearly not intended for the Mustachian demographic.

When do you expect to retire?

By the time I'm 62.

In my mid-60s.

At age 68 or later.

Never.

I don't work now.

I like how more than 40% chose "by the time I'm 62" - they clearly didn't design their poll well.

By the time I'm 62 is still correct if you've retired much earlier. But you're right, it's a huge group.

They do have a nice article about reasons people don't ER, and the first one is spending. At least they got that right!

Along with the usual whining comments blaming the government, the Fed, "Dumbocrats", etc. etc.  Seventy-one comments, mostly excuses why retirement isn't possible.

Same comments for every MSN article on personal finance - crazed rants blaming gubmint, dumbocrats, libtards, Obummer, obozo - Good God!

The MSN poll designers were obviously thinking inside the mainstream retirement box.  The age breaks correspond mostly to Social Security retirement thresholds.  Small minds.

I became FI at 53 (which is not THAT spectacular).  When are y'all projecting to be FI?
