Re: How much do you need to retire?

Planning for retirement is such an individual thing as we are all so different in our expectations. It sounds like you found a good, competent, honest, and knowledgeable financial guy to work with you. I am glad you are happy and able to enjoy your retirement. They really should be the best years for those of us who have worked hard for a long time to get to this time in our lives. Continue to enjoy.

Re: How much do you need to retire?

Agree with your original statement, happyhousewife. We, too, live modestly and within our means. If you don't mind, about where, (generally speaking) do you live in Florida? If you find this too personal a question, I understand.
