Too many people here use the drive-by "downvote" as a means of expressing their disagreement. This comment is a perfectly rational and polite contribution to an on-topic intellectual discussion of retirement, yet has received a large number of downvotes.

People, if you disagree, that's fine, but make some kind of a (polite, rational) counterargument rather than abusing "downvote" to express your visceral disgust at becoming aware of an opinion that differs from your own.

Also, to tag in, I believe downvoting is best to mark something that goes against the HN guidelines rather than just a sentiment you may disagree with.
