Estate planning and retirement planning should not be considered separately. There are two extremes in retirement and estate planning. One is to live for the moment and not save anything for an estate or retirement. This seems to be increasingly prevalent in today's society. The other extreme is to be a miser who never spends more than necessary, especially during retirement. You live poor but die rich. Most want to be somewhere in the middle. Economists theorize that those who derive the most utility from money do not spend and save at the same rate all their lives. During retirement, these people use up the wealth accumulated during their working years.
