I am not sure anyone can ever be completely assured that they have saved enough.
Agree, I've never heard anybody say they saved to much money.
If my dad were alive he'd tell you he saved too much money. He died before he even touched one cent of his retirement money. My mother, his wife of 46 years, is using dad's retirement. It looks like his money will live on for at least two generations. Since we're all hoarders with money there is a good chance it will live longer.
The longest living relative has been only 80 years old. Everyone else has passed away before 75. I'm planning on having a decent nest egg, but plan on living along the way as I am likely to die of cancer as both sides of the family are riddled with it, unless dad wasn't kidding when he told me I was the milkman's kid.
That is what we used to be talk about before retiring. Everybody we worked with drove fancy cars, went on big vacations. Wife and I hit the forest campgrounds with a tent then got trailer and so on.
Our kids are saying they are going thru money like water last couple years. And now wondering best way to get back on track. That is why I posted. I have no idea what is the way to go nowdays.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Many years ago at work, we had a guy fall over dead 4 days before his retirement day. Got out of his car in the parking lot and fell over. That was it.
