[quote=Anonymous][quote]I know what OP is saying sounds crazy, but... to make that kind of money you are probably big law or big medicine --- no retirement. So with the upkeep of the lifestyle -- expensive real estate, nanny, private school ect ect, you can find yourself broke. And after a life of not being broke it is a shock. Also you feel like a moron b/c where did it all go? It takes a lot of money to equal a pension for life. Especially if it comes with health care benefits.[/quote] I suppose there is some truth to that, but in general the lifestyle standards for people who have made that money their whole life are vastly different from the average Joe. There are plenty of American couples who can live on 30-40K a year without children or a mortgage and be extremely comfortable. I doubt that that's the lifestyle OP wants. But the fact that you are in a position to save for retirement so that you don't live like that is a huge luxury.[/quote]
