I'm an artist, but, as I get older, I really want to do philanthropic work and help people.

I just want to get better all around and contribute more.

As we get older, it's important for us to help hand back some of what we've gained as we've grown older. It should be one of your responsibilities - it's almost like being a mentor.

Part of becoming a little bit older and having the opportunities that I have, you want to start giving back to people who have been influential and helped you along the way.

Retiring is a strange word. I'm 27 years old. I've still got stuff to do.

If you want to live a long life, focus on making contributions.

If you're just starting out in the workforce, the very best thing you can do for yourself is to get started in your workplace retirement plan. Contribute enough to grab any matching dollars your employer is offering (a.k.a. the last free money on earth).

Retirement is a work in progress. I try to figure out my day, and what I know about myself is that I need structure.

I'm a little young for retirement.
