[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5559198, member: 12952"] I had to vote NO on this poll. I retired some years ago because of medical issues. My amount saved, without an employer match, was as I have read elsewhere at the level of what commercial airline pilot had. I have since taken out around $200,000 for some toys. But not all at once, must watch those medicare tax amounts. Medicare has a sliding scale about income that will raise what you pay monthly going forward. They look at your age 63 income to set your monthly amount for your first year ( 65 ). Saving into a 401K was easy. Every raise given was an additional increase. Sure there were times when I lowered the amount, but looking back that was a big mistake. I have calculated that when I begin taking RMD, required minimum distributions, my current amount will last until I'm 122. ( Don't worry gumby , I'll check out before then ) [/QUOTE]
