[QUOTE="db-2, post: 221138, member: 4743"] Just read the article where the writer stated the goal is all debt paid by 45 and then the last 20 years building ones nest egg. Some have done this and they did because of the focus, their primary goal and a job, life style that enable them to do it. Good job. We did not (other goals came into place) and at 66 the debt finally started to disappear and the nest egg started to build. But that meant to continue to work (great boss who has given me many hours of freedom for the same pay). With the paying of debt, continue salary and SS along with a couple of other investment income the wife and I started putting 6-7000/month into savings and checking. Over 6 years (less fricking income tax) it does build. Now, do we have enough. Depends on a lot of things, how long can we be active in life and if our health would wipe us out. Hope not, no pills at this time. Would like to buy one last major thing of a ranger to use when we go to northern Canada shed hunting, so will work a little longer.
