[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is crazy about this. Normal people would feel like you do - and would feel that, with over $1 million in retirement savings and another 10 years to go, of course you can travel and buy a couch.

On DCUM they'll tell you to move into a garden apartment rental and eat only rice and beans until you hit $11 million, then maybe you can get takeout pizza once a year.

These are the people who die from stress two weeks into retirement [/quote]

Gosh, this is pretty terrible but I just LOL'd.

OP. I'm 35 w/ about $145k in retirement, I started maxing out like 3 years ago. DH is 42, he's got about $600k and a pension. We have a young toddler and I still have student loans (low interest, but still). I used to stress about retirement because I felt like I got a late start (28/29). By DCUM standards, I definitely did, but I'm going to pour that energy into self-care  so I actually make it to retirement. I think you should do the same, keep saving obviously, but if the couch is going to add to your happiness, buy the couch. [/quote]
