I think retirement is a pipe dream...

no wife , no kids, no debt, rental property and have been saving 15% for a long time.

Vacationing in Costa Rica in 204 days 6 hours and thirty two minutes. 2 days are scheduled with a real estate agent and local American guide. I'm gonna die by a monkey/ iguana invasion.

Very few people of my generation (Gen X) and younger will be able to retire comfortably in America.. hell, even a lot of boomers wont be able to accomplish that- though many, like my father, have a good pension and are able to do so.. Pensions are quickly becoming extinct though, and i think i read that the average American’s 401k is under $50k, so not great.. Personally, i will be retiring overseas as well.. im in my 40s, but no matter what my net worth winds up being in my 50s or 60s- i know my dollars will stretch much, much further in someplace like Costa Rica or Belize or Mexico or Thailand or the Philippines or Ecuador or …. well, pretty much anyplace compared to the the United States .
