When it comes to saving money, there is no such thing as "enough".
Spending 20+ years not working, living on a fixed income, is fraught with disaster from health issues, taxes, and cost of living inflation.
I hope to work, in some part-time capacity, as long as my health allows or as long as I can stand having a boss.
I expect to be screwed over by The Man during my retirement - Social Security, Medicare, and kleptocrats who will redefine "rich" to include anyone with a modicum of private savings - including primary residence equity, savings, 401K's, IRA's, pensions, etc.
I've seen my parents and in-laws, pre-Boomers, enjoy retirement for 20 years into their late 70's and early 80's when their health started to rapidly decline.
The System is built upon a false promise of The Big Payback to trick you into giving The Man the best years of your life and good health.
I've seen too many Black Swans in my life to believe any future plans will fully allign with future reality.
How many retirement/financial plans included 9/11, 2008 Financial Crisis, Covid, and Biden-flation?
Like the squirrels, I'm gathering as many acorns as I can, stashing them in many different spots, and hoping it will be enough for me to comfortable during the Winter of my life.
Other than becoming a billionaire, that's the best this working stiff can do.
