How much do plan to have saved for retirement?

To all of you who have had a good or great career and could afford to support your family, educate the kids and prepare for your golden years , I congratulate you . Not only do you need this planning but you must be in good health . Health is of the utmost importance . Having menial jobs most of my life , it took everything I had just to get by . God was good to us and fortune prevailed . We have a wonderful home in the north with mountain views , 2 car garage , a dog , and dependable transportation . Unfortunatly Mrs.'s health isn't good and it's a BIG exense . Anyway , a big mistake retired people make is thinking they can maintain a lifestyle that is the same as when they were working 2 jobs and spouse working 1 job . If you like working , keep working if you want . If you decide to stop working be prepared to live on 1/2 of what you previously earned . the sucky part is that prices keep going up but the income is the same . We can always go live in a ship container in the woods with no indoor plumbing . LOL
