$175k in 401k
Government pension
Salary about $200k

Laughable savings but I’m fine to live.

Date: June 27th, 2025 3:54 PM Author: snowy sweet tailpipe mental disorder Did you lose your job?
Do you have any cash savings?
Do you have any debt? |

Date: June 27th, 2025 3:57 PM Author: Federal Jew Dog Poop No didn’t lose my job lol. It’s pretty secure gov lawyer. I have a pretty high position that I really can’t get fired. Just a lot of stress bc of the level I’m at but it’s meaningless work and no one really cares.
Savings is complete shit but I could lose my job and live for a year I guess.
Zero debt except for mortgage. Cars paid off. |

Date: June 27th, 2025 3:58 PM Author: snowy sweet tailpipe mental disorder How much on the mortgage?
Spouse/kids?
Seems like you're generally fine. |

Date: June 27th, 2025 4:03 PM Author: snowy sweet tailpipe mental disorder I mean, the spouse/kids question is really what matters. If you're single and always will be then that's fine. If you have kids and a spouse that doesn't significantly change the numbers then that's tough for sure. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5743867&forum_id=2],#49054576) |

That's worth an obligatory "fuck you, you deadbeat piece of shit" to the op, but it's more the ones who made the game who are at fault than the small fry playing it |

Date: June 27th, 2025 10:59 PM Author: Alcoholic Old Irish Cottage Pozpig 1. actually you do put a lot of money into it, though you're right you can't opt out so i guess in a sense you're not spending it, but more importantly 2. this was in response to the not uncommon comment that pensionmos can just blow their paychecks. that math only works out if you live long enough to benefit from the pension. yeah, if you live to 95, you're going to make a ton of money so why bother saving while you're working. but if you have a heart attack the year after you retire, you made nothing and saved nothing and your family is fucked. so if you're going to ball out pre-retirement make sure you get a nice life insurance policy, because plenty of people drop dead before they reap the rewards. that's part the way they stay solvent. a pension is deferred income, you need to hedge it.

Kids & college savings? Or can you accelerate the savings from here? |
