Retirement seems to become the moment where most people can start doing what they've always dreamt of but could never do. Freedom included. Imagine somebody of my age: he has 20 more to go before retirement. And before freedom. So I'd like to invest those in this shift, too: even if it takes 20 years to get it done. Even in that case, another more 15-20 would be awaiting me to benefit of what I dreamt of. I find many people are thinking like that lately. But no leaders.
