I LOVE that you put the effort into trying to figure this out! I really wish more people would actually sit down and give this some thought. They might change course or do things a little more differently if they did.

Here’s my plan for retirement:

For myself, I don’t think I could do $29K per year. I’m shooting for +$60K, and I want to do it by age 45! Are there any other retirement or tax-sheltered plans you could invest in? What about non-tax sheltered plans?

I think you’re good to go even if you don’t change a thing. You are being super conservative with those numbers, I bet you can easliy get more. I don’t know about inflation, so you might want to look into projections for that and look at your potential budget in the future with the inflation numbers I mind.

I would personally hope to have a bit more than $30 a year when retired because I want to travel more often, but with only minor expenses, I bet it’s still possible to do some great traveling on $2,500 a month.

Hmm, I don’t know if we could live on $29k a year when we retire although I have it in my head that $29K is going to be worth peanuts and a sack of corn by the time I’m on the retirement boat. I don’t know how much we really need but I do know that when we retire we want to travel as much as we can while our health is good. We have the money to pay our house off now and we are in our 30’s so unless prices don’t go nutty and travelling stays at a decent price we should be ok, I think. Where is that crystal ball again… I keep losing it. Mr.CBB Great post!

Totally doable. As long as your house is paid off, most of your expenses will be relatively fixed (I’m assuming you can do a “budget billing” with your utility companies and pay the same amount each month). You won’t be jet setting around the world, but people live on less than that now AND pay rent.

Hmm…depends on what type of retirement you want to have. If it’s travelling the world, 30k probably wouldn’t do it. If it’s stay at home and play with your grand kids, 30k might be enough. The thing I hate about planning for retirement is that there are just so many variables to consider.
