If I think of my order of concerns,
- Proper planning for healthcare costs

- Longevity (though having recently learned of two work associate deaths, I feel this one isn’t entirely in my control)
Anyone else?

For sure this is true, but I could easily make the case the idea people invest too aggressively as merely a way people deny failing to begin saving early enough. With that construct, these people did not do anything wrong – rather somebody (maybe the government) screwed up the economy.
