I see these articles that are saying you need 2 million bucks to retire. I'm just slightly over 2 million short of that goal. Those articles are probably written by people in New York and California so I'm treating it as gibberish. I hope I can work for another ten years. My wife is 11 years younger than me and she has always worked. I guess once the kid is through college we will have a shot at getting something together. Pensions are a thing of the past and despite the way the media portrays it, not everyone has a 401.
I see older folks who had to return to work to get by. Between Biden's inflation and Covid shutdowns, it's pretty hard to retire these days.
