It is very important to plan for your future and to not rely on things like the government or a company you work for to provide for your retirement.

From the post:
>A finance guru who recommended people prepare to live until they're 90 revealed he's been diagnosed with a shocking health condition. British journalist and author, Jonathan Clements, 53, shared he was diagnosed with an intense form of lung cancer that has spread to his brain and other parts of his body. In a June blog post on his website Humble Dollar, Clements detailed the moment he found out he may only 'have just a dozen okay months' ahead of him.
You should always plan for long life. Sure, you can get hit by bad luck but that is better than planning on cat food and government gibs.
