In this thread, I asked if there's ever been a net worth poll survey/done on this board, and if anyone would participate. It appears there's some interest. However, I'm not a statistician by any stretch of the imagination. If you want minutia, read this 80 page Federal Reserve survey on consumer finances & net worth. <yawn>
I struggled with how to ask this, and decided to pilfer from ING and ask everyone this simple question: What's your number? In other words, how much retirement savings do (or did) you really need in order to leave the w*rkforce for good?
Obviously polling capabilities on this board are pretty limited, so it will be this one question which will provide us with anonymous results.
I know there a a bazillion variables. I'm just trying to make it simple. This is an off the cuff, down & dirty comparison.
I'm sure there are people who will question the integrity of this, but it isn't meant to be presented to congress or anything. If you'd like to run a similar survey with more detail and data points, please do. I'd love to respond, I love surveys.
