The goal of climbing a mountain is NOT to reach the top.
The goal is to climb to the summit and then safely descend down the other side.
Metaphorically, summitting the mountain occurs the day you retire. Retirement is the pinnacle destination point along your journey, it is not the end of the expedition.
The assent, or financial accumulation phase is approached with a different mindset and set of challenges as compared to the decent or retirement years. Similar to physically climbing a mountain; the planning and using of resources as you climb has a direct impact on what your descent looks like.
