You are taking the exactly correct way to think about savings: asset-liability matching, and being realistic about it (not imagining you can move to a new place because 'retired', so do, but many can not do so successfully).

But many can, and do. To each their own.

Indeed. But shouldn't assume the can, because that kind of assumption something many cannot survive.

Sensible planning is asset-liability matching.
