What do you think the change/adjustment would be now for 2008?<BR/><BR/>As a single woman living alone I wonder about the statistics. I have a single income household, I am responsible for all of my own bills. Overall, I think I'm doing okay - I put approximately 20% of my gross income in both my office 401(k) and a Roth IRA. Like the two of you, I have an investment property (rental unit) and the condo I live in. My car is paid for, I have no credit card debt, and my student loans are minimal (I may just pay them off with $$ I receive from my mother's estate).<BR/><BR/>I'm currently 44 and (idelly) I would be working for another 20 years.... However, poor health and a chronic condition make me wonder if instead of 20+ years in the workforce, I may just have 15 good years left. <BR/><BR/>While you have the $4 million goal, mine is less ($1 million) (I just won't live as well as you two nor will I travel as much internationally.) <BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your blog - the information is great. I often consider starting one - it would be focused on my PF issues with the reaility of my medical condition and status... Maximizing my savings now knowing that I may only have 10 to 15 good years physically. What' your thought?Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14648176822082357163noreply@blogger.com
