It is much to late for us to ER. We are 62 and 68. I wonder if we will ever be able to retire.
In the past have always had jobs that were low paying and no 401's. We raised our family and they are now through school and on their own. In 1990 finally got a decent job and now have about 45K in a 401K plus stocks, bonds, and savings are about 150K. So we have around 200K total. House valued at about 400K and owe 50K on it. Hubby is sick with emphysema and diabetes so he is not able to work. I am total support. His ss is about 14,000 yr and mine is almost 4 years away. It should be about the same. Any good suggestions for me.
Many thanks!
