retoot this if your retirement plan is essentially based on the idea that civilisation will probably crumble before you reach 65 and money will be meaningless anyway.
Roofastronaut@cmconseils I've always been an extremely frugal person and saved as much as possible, I'm on track to have the ability to retire relatively close to the age of 40
Passwordsarehard4@Roofastronaut @cmconseils what number you shooting for, if you don’t mind saying? I’m thinking $1.25M for a 60’s retirement in the Midwest for me. That’s should be about $50k a year until my mid to late 80’s. That should be well beyond what this body will need cared for. With the uncertainty of two more decades I wouldn’t even know what to plan for.
rojun@rojun @passwordsarehard4 @cmconseils depending on the cause, inflation should affect equities 🤷♀️ I don't actually intend to retire early since I enjoy working, I just take comfort in knowing I'll have the ability to if I want/need to
@Roofastronaut @passwordsarehard4 @cmconseils Depends, if it's equities on a holding company holding its assets as cash on a bank account, then it's probably losing relative value. I thought that it was implied that the lump sum was personal cash.
@rojun @passwordsarehard4 @cmconseils nah. I have it invested in various ETFs. I'm assuming an average annual 8% rate of return.
