Anxiety and uncertainty on how much you need to retire is a big opportunity for Whatever Years to tackle. We currently are sitting on more than we set as our target a decade ago, but I still dont feel comfortable. Should this be an objective/actuarial decision? Does subjectivity and emotion have a place in this?
My current fear is that it's the top of the market, and there's going to be a correction. But when? And how much? I'm waiting for that. But yeah, it's subjective and emotional.
Annie, this question of what is enough is one that plagues our country. My husband and I have enough. We feel fortunate that we have enough that we agreed to retire early and NOT spend the last 1/4 of our lives chasing after more and more. But I can tell you that almost all of our friends who are in similar financial situations simply cannot fathom doing what we did. It’s sad.
