LOL! said:The reality is that many Americans retired last week, last month, last year and the last decade. So since so many Americans are retiring all the time, they have to have done something right. I guess that retiring is just not that big a deal and you don't need as much moolah as the financial press would want you to have. Maybe most people only need $25,000?
crazy connie said:Yup 25K is enough until you use up the home equity all the way and get SS or public assistance. Some of us prefer not to have to move in on family or beg the gov't or social service agencies. We prefer to FIRE and enjoy life!
