In the U.S. timezones were developed by the railroads before being written into law to keep the train traffic moving. I think they even called it railroad time. Back in the day when the big clock in town meant something ... Imagine everyone setting 12:00 (noon) or 'high noon' with the sun directly overhead! There was no standard time nor timezones before we began traveling faster than the sun.

The answer is 'it depends' How long do you expect to live and what do you expect to do in retirement. The answer for a 30 y.o. is much different than that of a 65 y.o.
