Financial Future

Because I'm single without children, I've never thought strongly about my financial future. I sat down today with 2 gentlemen from Northwestern Mutual to discuss future retirement and investment options. When asked about my prospective retirement age and how much $$$$ I would like to retire with; I hesitated to give a realistic answer. There are so many variables that factor into that equation. I found myself overwhelmed. Will I be married, Will I have children, Will I be healthy. I'm in my late 30's and I've avoided serious financial planning to this point in my life. But now is the time to stop living like a rockstar and consider the realistic possibility that I may live past 50:-)
