Seems like a lot of the "can I retire?" threads on ER/Bogleheads-type sites read something like..."we're 40 and have $1 million in invested assets...can we/when can we retire?"
How did y'all get so rich so early?
I recall a recent statistic that most Americans don't have $20k in savings (forget the exact number, but something like that)
So it is just a predominance of 40-something millionaires asking these questions or what?
When I see those types of threads I just close them and move on...something psychological about feeling behind I guess ...but I suppose trying to keep up with the savers is better than trying to keep up with the spenders...
