I think retirement is a pipe dream...

not sure what i'll end up doing. at a company now where i'm fully remote working from home. i can basically live anywhere (within reason) and still keep this job. just need good internet. so i can work longer than most IMO.

my financial guy and i ran numbers at 65 and 67 (i'm 34 now) with and without social security (which who knows how long that will be around honestly).

he asked "how much will i need a month to live at that time"

I dont know what to tell him, he said average is like 6k a month. I was like man i live on less than that now with child support, 2 kids half the time, a mortgage, a pool note, truck note.

when i'm 65 my plan is to have house well paid for, no pool note, obviously no child support, kids will be in their 40s.

insurance is my question mark. i guess medicare/medicaid will be around by then?
