Retirement Planning Be Damned

Morley Safer, Emmy award winning reporter and 60 Minutes correspondent, died 

Thursday, May 19, 2016.  A mere eight days ago, after 46 seasons at 60 Minutes, Mr. Safer announced his retirement.  If there's a silver lining to this sad tale, I guess it's that Morley nailed it on having enough money saved to make it through retirement!  Morley Safer, dead at 84.
