Inflation

What is 50K going to be worth in 30 years?

It takes 119K of 2012 dollars to match 50K from 1982.

If inflation over the next 30 years is similar you're looking at having to live on 120K a year. Not 50.


a lot of people on defined pension plans don't realize this, you get to retire at 100% of your salary at 30 years. Then 25 years later you're 70 and that 100% isn't looking so hot

re: inflation

rule of thumb: I always heard that prices double every 20 years. $50,000 in eggs/milk/bread today will cost $100,000 in 20 years.
