Typical American Career path - esp after 50

[Anonymous]

Our plan is to save enough to have “f you” money by 50. Meaning if work is awful we can tighten our belts and leave a bad work spot. But both of us have worked, no SAHP role.

We are early to mid 40’s and are catching up on foolish no savings 20’s. But mostly on track with this plan. Ideally we work until 60 but maybe we’ll average to 55 and take a lifestyle gig for the health insurance.

Ageism is real!

How much do you make to have F u money? I pursued a career that I thought would be meaningful but now realize I should have just cared about maximin the pay..

Im very worried about this. I’m early 40s but work in a tech company where we make a product which is mostly used by the 18-25 age group and many of my coworkers are younger. Some are also very nasty and competitive.

I’m working on an exit plan. Unfortunately my role isn’t one that makes for an easy transition to government or similar.
