Y'all keep mentioning Social Security and Stormin is going to show up.
I always enjoy these threads, you can really get a sense of how different everyone's upbringing was and how we prioritize because of it. Really interesting.
For me, I'm fully planning to work into my 70s and I'm in an industry where that's common. Thanks to a layoff in 2008 and being out of work for a little over a year, a major medical issue and, common theme, a divorce, I'm nowhere close to where I want to be but I've also decided that you have to live some too. I've simply prioritized making sure that my daughter's 529 is well funded and leaving myself 'the rest'.
My grandfather died with money but he never did anything and was a miserable SOB for most of the last 10 years of his life that resented anybody and everybody around him and chose not to have a relationship with any of his kids or grandkids. My dad has hammered into me that that isn't the way to live and that when the opportunity to do something comes along, you do it. That doesn't mean you go live beyond your means (I have zero debt beyond my house) but you can't take it with you.
