Great board - good discussions, and interesting personalities. I'm a teacher in my mid 40's, and my husband of 1 month is a minister who is 50. Good thing we like the simple (read: inexpensive) things in life, or we'd never even get to contemplate retiring
He hasn't saved much (mostly gave it all away - never been married before) but he is a frugal person, so we've figured out that we've got 10 years left of the "rat race" (that's when my pension and 403B will be enough to sustain our lifestyle and our house will be paid off).
I wish I could get my twenty-something year old son to read some of these posts - so many of you are doing just the right things - and that will give you so many more choices in life. Way to go!!!
