I don't have a pension and I'm assuming social security is zero. That said, about 40% of our net worth is home equity... and our retirement accounts are pretty healthy... so it's real money.
It's hard to ignore what that money could do if we didn't own an overprices home in Seattle and instead rented a place in a low cost of living eastern European country. I get that lifestyle may not appeal to everyone, but places like Prague are just so freaking cheap compared to US metros. I'd even like to do a stint in SE Asia for awhile.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
