The freedom to decide what kind of retirement to have, when to cease working, how much to put aside for one’s retirement at various points in one’s life, and how to invest or utilize one’s contributions to one’s pension are all freedoms that go to the heart of the freedom and responsibility to shape one’s life.

Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you. Abraham Lincoln

John Adams
American diplomat and 2nd President of the United States from 1797-1801 (1735-1826)
