[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. After writing my post I went and tried the Vanguard calculator and my estimate became less than half 😒, probably without SS. I was using the calculator that comes with the investment company from work, Voya, which didn’t have me input any number, so not sure what wild assumptions they made 😝
I get I may need to reconsider my financial picture after using other calculator and thinking about current and future priorities. The reason I think I am in good shape for now is that we are south European expat and will probably retire back there, where even a 2k monthly pension is considered not bad. We would have that already from SS.. Am I missing something? Things may get more complicated and expensive if children stay here and we have to travel back and forth..[/quote]

If you are sure you will retire in your home country you are probably fine bc you likely don’t have to worry about healthcare costs. But, are you sure that will be your plan? If your kids settle here and they have kids you might end up feeling differently.  My in laws are from India and returning was always in their minds until we had babies and they wanted to be close by.  [/quote]
