My father is retiring very modestly. A few years ago he “put a bug in my ear” and told me to start saving seriously for retirement, and I have.
My mother will likely retire poor.
My wife’s grandparents are having a wonderful retirement with lots of travel in America and Europe, and they apparently achieved this on the savings of a single income.
I hope to retire like my wife’s grandparents, so I’m putting everything I can into my 401k and a Roth IRA.
