If they don't work for long periods of time, then they aren't contributing, which means their total retirement amount will be less when they reach retirement age. However, the money won't run out, because part of my plan is for the account to send monthly payments in an amount supportable by the principal at retirement age, for the rest of their actuarial lives. However, that's not much consolation to someone who ends up with a low principal balance because they didn't work very much during their life.

I'm not too concerned though, because frankly, I don't want to live in a country where I or my family have to contribute to the welfare of deadbeats. If you work, then you will have a good retirement. If you screw around your whole life, then you are in for some hard knocks when you are old. Tough.
