So assuming we still have newspapers in the future are you on the way to becoming the subject of a headline like this
"Frugal pensioner dies leaving $1M fortune"
I see these once in a while where a librarian or a secretary who lived quietly in a community dies leaving a tidy sum. This usually amazes the reporter and the neighbours, but that pensioner did just what many of us on here do; living frugally and saving.
Given the decline of defined benefit pensions surely such stories will have to become the norm rather than curiosities if the average American is to live well in retirement
