My children are older but can still benefit from this as a reminder if they aren't already practicing it. Life is so unpredictable -- people make their plans and others upset them as you experienced with your position -- all too common for many, or other similar upsets as my husband encountered and complicated by health issues. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-28335335659519093872017-06-19T08:52:45.508-04:002017-06-19T08:52:45.508-04:00I seem to be getting a 502 Bad Gateway error to th...I seem to be getting a 502 Bad Gateway error to the<br /><br />"When Can I Retire Calculator" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-39473239963955753702017-06-15T15:31:30.180-04:002017-06-15T15:31:30.180-04:00These are good ideas for anyone earning enough to ...These are good ideas for anyone earning enough to be able to save and to start early doing so. Unfortunately, in today's world there are quite a few not in that income bracket. Wages have been declining for decades and what worked for our parents and many of us isn't today's reality. Saving as much as possible is always a good idea, though, and will always help those who can.

Money isn't plentiful, but it's enough. Owning your own time is priceless. We made sure we'd paid off our mortgage before we retired.

It's enough, and money is never something I worry about, but I do live in a rented apartment and drive an old car which still has its wheels. I'll drive it until it falls apart. Good advice, Tom!

Unlike me, who finally woke up and started saving in my 40s! I'm not complaining, I did okay due to a pension that I contributed to since I was in my early 30s. If it hadn't been for that, I'd be sunk!
