Just because we are older, that doesn’t mean your income stops. This is the time when passive income takes over. For me, I made very good money during my working years but I make many times that each year in my investments while I’m playing sports or sleeping: that’s passive income.
IMO: to feel comfortable money wise, you need over $5M for 2 people, not $1M.
Number has to be well over a million. Take out 4 percent and 40000 plus ss does not go as far as it used to.
