I am fairly new to this website but not to saving. In the late 90's early 2000's I played the stock market and lost most all of it, what remained I used as a down payment on my first house. Now my retirement savings lie entirely in my 401k...about $115k. It's not alot but I add about $15k a year.
The wife is in the NYS teachers union and will get a pension when she finishes. In her case we'll do 20 and done (or whatever the minimum is, sadly I don't know much about the NYS pension system for teachers except what she pays in, which makes it hard for me to figure out what we'll get out).
I did 6 years in the military, 4 as a nuke on a Sub in Hawaii. Which is the place I would like to retire. Still need to get the wife intersted in moving back though.
