I've already shown part of our portfolio. Even with mine added in, we're not going to reach $300k -- no way, no how -- unless we have some unbelievable bull market for the next 10-15 years. Neither of us has a pension. I still think we'll be living OK. If we have to touch principal later in retirement, so be it. What is wrong with that? Luckily, I think I've educated myself enough to know what to expect and how to handle it.
If it's meaningless, then how do you propose we fix it, Alex? Or should we?
I agree with Ron, education is sorely lacking and that I lay squarely at the feet of politicians and educators but that's a discussion for another place and another day.
