Confused about dryer sheets
Hi there--I'm 65, a widow, and can retire next year. Before my husband died, we didn't do much in the way of saving (he liked to play!). So I've been stoking up the 401 K and other things the past few years. Hope it's OK to share details here, but I need some advice from people who have retired. I'll have about $1850 in SS income if I retire at 66. I have about $95K in the 401K, $14K in Roth IRA and about $20K in regular savings. I could probably work an extra year or two and bank that money, but I love to travel and also do some part-time missionary work, so I really would like to have more than 4 weeks of vaca per year to do that in. I keep coming back to the fact that time is more precious than $, but then again I do want to be able to provide for myself in later years. What do you think of survivability on the money I've set out above? Currently I am renting an extremely reasonable place ($600/month which includes utilities). Thanks!
