In their 40s.

Give us a decade to enjoy our life and also have babies.

What's the point of retiring in your mid sixties? Too old for everything and your body is breaking down.

I'm at my most idealistic and capable at this age. If I took an entire decade to get all my desires out of my system, I'd have little motivation to further contribute.

Retire earlier then. Easier said than done, I know, but it can be done if you're a good saver and invest your money. Good income in the first place definitely is a major factor, though.

My thinking was you pay it back from your retirement accounts and just keep working until you can't. Working keeps older people alive anyway. Working is very beneficial for older people.

So the idea is that everyone would spend 10 years living off of money they don't have yet

Yes ;)

I know it's unrealistic, but people should be able to maximize those precious moments with their kids. Rather then...some daycare raising them for you - or...your parents..

There's clearly no negative consequence to a bunch of young single men with nothing to do being ejected into society for a decade.

I'm not actually being serious guys.

This is called "day dreaming" But I do think, as a society, in America, we're being pushed to just...unnatural levels of work.

Vacations are what you're looking for. Actually use your off time to relax and do whatever the fuck you want while working, and everyone benefits. You're not miserable, and your employer has a happier and more productive employee.
