Coming from a sllightly older and more cautious demographic than the boomers, my husband and I have been planning for our retirement for many years. This does not mean we have $6,000,000 in assets! However, we have managed to figure out diverse streams to tap which will provide us with income for many years, barring catastrophe.

The number Fidelity gave me was by far the most we are going to need for retirement and I don’t think we will ever make it. But it doesn’t mean we can’t retire and maintain a similar life style.

Carina: Nobody sounded “cheerful”.

No, I wasn’t being sarcastic… I was trying to be funny. You were worried about being depressing, your friend had complained about the identical money thing, and then you choose the same subject today. Suppose someone worried about ghosts on the T, you reassure them, then they worry again about the T… “it’s a ghost, I know it!”

Tshsmom: I’ll be right there with ya.
Skittles: I know. It’s unreal.
Mike: Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things (say, the stock market) stay in pretty good shape.
Carina: Me,too.
DeAnn: Count on me to bring you down once in a while.
Chris: I get it. You’re making a joke ’cause I was worried my blog was depressing, right? Haha, as in ‘haha’ sarcastic, not ‘haha’ that’s funny.
Mr. Fab: You always see the bright side of things, doncha?

I’m not worried. I think I’ll be very comfortable at the shelter.

This is a good one. I have a Fidelity account and it tells me how much I will get when I retire. So far I’m not doing too bad on it. I just hope nothing really bad happens between now and when I retire though. It’s hard to save a lot of your money when things cost so much.
