I like to travel and eat too too, don't have social security to look forward to but do have some investments and a pension to factor in. This brings up a question I've had on my mind for a while - I'm 50 and if I were to retire today would have a pension of about 72K a year (full cola and subsidized health coverage included). What does that translate to in FIRE talk so far as what it's worth? Like how much real $ would a person have to invest to yield that kind of return? (Actually, judging by the way my other investments perform, other than the real estate, it's a good thing I got that job with the pension at the end of the line.)
