I was born too lower-middle class to pull this off.

This is also a thing.

Aight, we at 10.5k.

I won't be retiring til I'm dead, so whatevs.

I'm really not planning to retire, just transition to part-time work.

My dad retired at 55 and I kinda want to attempt to aim for the same number.  I'll be old enough to, hopefully, have a bit of a nest egg, but young enough to be able to get around without knees that creak too loudly.  I agree with the part-time work, but I want to take off from my 'main job' and maybe start doing more artwork or whatever.

Nah, bro.  My whole family is lower-middle and you can do it.  You just got to plan and start early.  If you haven't been adding money to your 401k, startttttt.  Compound interest is a thing, even on crap money, and as long as you aren't expecting tri-tip all the time, you could be pretty comfortable.

I said it'd be nice to do, didn't say it'd actually happen

My husband texted just now, "I regret to inform you that there is frozen goose poop on your car" which made me laugh so hard.  #midwestproblems

I think it'd be nice to retire at like 55 and travel, hike, camp, stop being a cog in the capitalist machine

Or may be just do it now. Except the cog thingy. You will need that to finance the rest.

I'm a millennial. My magic number is going to end up being 70. I'll likely be able to retire much earlier than that, but I'll probably retire around then.

I expect to make it past 90 based on family history. Going out at 55 means 35 years of less-than-full activity. I'm too type-A for a lifestyle like that for that long.

Haha. Our HOA rents out swans every spring/summer just to keep the geese away.

I am on the same boat, except maybe for the long lifespan thing (my family history varies)

nah, you're an engineer now. If you want, you should be able to plan to execute it.

You must be an older millenial, like me.

I'll be lucky if my first heart attack comes after 50, and I make it until 75. My plan is to just have something to give my child(ren).

No variance on my end. It's bizarre how predictably we go out. I'm thinking Dec 23, 2076.

I probably could if I was single and not planning on having kids... Scratch that, I DEFINITELY could if I was single and not planning on having kids. But hey, c'est la vie.

I'm contributing 4% to my 401k, but that probably won't be enough to make much headway. Meanwhile, the expenses keep rolling in.

It's okay though, I can totally see myself taking a couple years off, then going back to working part time.

Lol, just imagine it...a bunch of old geezers still playing Mafia.

Yep, I'm a cusper. I best fit Xennial or the "Oregon Trail Generation" description best, but by definition I'm a millennial.
