Only SS and pension
40K in the bank but that was only because I lucked into an inheritance
100K in home equity that happened completely in the last two years, I only put 3% down on my condo
I retired three years ago and so far life is grand, I have enough to live on, good health insurance, and feel relatively financially secure despite not having the millions that DCUM seems to think is necessary for retirement.
A real pension is key and most people don’t have those. So we need to save a lot of cash.
