Who knows? I'm retired and draw a pension. Theres a rumor that our insurance will change in 2 years so who knows what that will bring? I also draw SS as does my Wife. I also contributed heavily to a company 401K plan. We're carry very little debt and have cash reserves. In other times we would feel successful and comfortable. But with the chaos what it is I would be afraid to predict the future.

Give a farmer a Million Dollars. He’ll keep right on farming till he goes broke. 😜😬🤠 You know how to wind up with a million bucks farming? Start with two million. Spend a $1 to make 75 cents.

My job is in maintenance in a high rise multi tenant office building. I plan to retire in 10 years, and I sure as hell don’t plan to spend my last 10 years in this job. Hope to be working at a hospital very soon.
I owe about $3,000 on a car loan. Otherwise, I’m debt free and sitting on a pile of cash that I add to each month. Max out the Roth IRA each year, 10% in the 401k, rental property has good tenants.
I hope to be able to travel, eat out, and buy whatever I want (within reason) in retirement. If it all goes south, I will still have enough to live comfortably at home, load my stockpile of ammo components and afford gas money to go shooting.
As long as Beto doesn’t come for my AR15, I’ll be alright.

You guys are blessed, our 3 kids don't seem to have any plans to give us any grandkids. At 62 I'm getting old fast, but I sure don't want them to rush on my account.
Life is good live it while you can.

Im on a fixt income .....i know exactly what my ‘paycheck’ is going to be everytime  Inflation can upset that calculation. But as to the original question, I am very happy like things are and hope they stay the same. Did lose a few thousand in the market last few days, but oh well. At least I'm well ahead for the year. Bought some unloved stock when the panic was on this spring. I hate to think of the BIDEN panic that could set in come November
