Planning on retiring in 17 months; nest egg will be between 35 and 40 times annual expenses, for a 40 year retirement.

i retired 5 years ago with less than 300K as shown in my sig. dont have a pension, no 401K, no retirement fund, had all my savings in CD's drawing close to 5% in 2009 but steadily dropping, threw my full savings into RE at the bottom and have been riding the wave since

I'm retiring from state gov't in slightly less than 4 yrs. at age 53. I should have a 62% pension and enough in retirement plans to exceed what I live on now by quite a bit. I shouldn't be nervous about it but it feels like the first time on a small airplane when the landing strip comes into view.

I'm closing in without about 15 years to go and my target number is somewhere between 2MM & 6MM.

I'm almost embarrassed to say because of feeling a little guilty. Recently retired at 55 with a 100% pension from a California Public Retirement system along with full medical for life. Savings, stock and Deferred Compensation plan (457) worth of $750,000.

That's a pretty big swing. Have you tried to narrow down the range at all?

We are maybe 8 to 9 years away from retirement. My husband will likely have the option of retiring and then doing some Consulting work part-time. I don't know if he'll want to do that or not.

Pensions will replace around 45% of our current income. Our pensions were frozen years ago at a set benefit amount when the company switched over to a profit sharing/deferred compensation plan. Once our mortgage is paid off, that should be enough to pay our real estate taxes and a basic living - with healthcare being a huge wildcard.

Social Security will be - hopefully at least something. Like everybody else, I hope to at least get some of what we've paid in back.

Investments - that will be IRAs, 401K, Roths, Def. Comp and then a Taxable Account. We've collected a bunch of them over the years. I have a goal sheet that I did years ago that I listed every year and then our savings balance goal for the end of that year. Right now, we are almost at the 12/31/2015 goal amount so we're on track. The goals end at around $2.6million.

It's more of a projection of where I could end up, not what I might need. I could certainly get by on less, but I'm going to aim high.
