Well, generally your money will still be earning you something in retirement. Also, most people include social security. No idea what that will look like in the future though so it's hard to calculate.

My 401k has gone up a bit but nowhere near 2mil
Posted on 2/27/24 at 1:21 pm to fareplay
I ask myself that everyday driving to work. My house is paid off and between my 401k and brokerage account I’m worth about 2 million. At 47, I keep telling myself I’ll be fine retiring at 50. That’s not counting social security kicking in later in my 60s (~$3000/month if factoring it in).
My concern is simply property taxes (Texas), insurance (home and heath) are completely out of control. That’s what keeps me going to work which is pretty damn sad.

Yeah early retirement seems super inefficient but I’m also young (33) and can’t rely on Medicare being a thing when I retire either

You and babytac should try and make a baby together

You're 33? Wtf. Keep working and contributing to your 401k and don't do stupid shite.

That and healthcare. You retire at 50 and you’ll need to cover health insurance for yourself at minimum.
I still have two kids to put through college so I have to get to 60 before I can even think about it.

I have my retirement calculated at 72
I had a kid late in life which changed things

I don’t aspire to retire by 65, want to target 50
Posted on 2/27/24 at 1:28 pm to fareplay
You've got 17 years minimum. Keep saving and quit worrying about shite.

It’s assanine to think between healthcare and taxes one has around a $2000/month bill. This country is so in decline.

Ours should all be out of college by the time I'm 51-52, but I won't be financially ready by then. I'm hoping for 62 but we'll see how it goes.

My advice to you is to pay off all your debts including house and cars. Contribute to your 401k the equivalent of what the company matches. Contribute everything else monthly to Vanguards 500 index fund, growth fun, and a QQQ type. You concentrate on those things at your age, you’ll be fine at 50.

Take 70% of your gross salary. Apprx that's what you'll need during retirement. Subtract SS, pension and/or any other retirement income. If there's a gap then you'll need to draw the difference from personal investments Roth IRA and retirement plans. Being debt free is tremendously important

We still got ~880k left in mortgage but expect paid off in 10 years or so. Max roth max 401 etc etc but still by 50 seems tough. We have a advisor via vanguard but seems underperforming
