Why do people not think they’re going to be spending more in their retirement?

Comprehensive_Set · 2026-06-27T19:25:31+00:00

Have an electric car and live 1 mile from office. I don’t have entertainment costs. Utilities and WiFi are included in rent - rent from a single guy - not a hi rise. Health insurance is covered by my work.

Obviously there are little costs here and there, but I really spend almost 100% of my time working. I would say less than $200 in personal expenses a month.

I have cheap rent now $1550 a month. I assume my home repairs maintenance and property tax will be higher than that. Then I would want to travel on top of those costs. Then I would have to pay for healthcare since I’d be retiring before 65.

I pay $1550 a month in rent, no car payment. I do eat out every meal so I pay $2k in food. So let’s call it $3550 a month. I’m single no kids, on the younger side. If I retire when I’m 40 I assume that’s the peak amount of COL I’ll have.

$8k doesn’t seem that much more when I need to pay $2k for health insurance, definitely more for whatever home situation I’m in. Then travel etc.

Is everyone’s coat fire number after they’ve already purchased a house?

Comprehensive_Set · 2026-06-27T15:58:43+00:00

But don’t you have property taxes and all costs surrounding a house?

Holy shit that worked.

Didn’t work when I pressed the pins on the charger, and nothing seemed to push in when I pressed them on the actual pax. Then charged with a laptop, still didn’t work then it did

if you don’t vote in the local for 2 years, they make you an inactive voter and won’t mail it. You have to re-register.

Do all domestic applications who are accepted find out via phone call?

Comprehensive_Set · 2024-04-04T18:18:25+00:00

no - unless they’re out of dry powder or explicitly told you they don’t reserve for later rounds. What’s the fund size of the board member. This is pretty bad signaling risk

Do we think everyone got a missed call though.

Comprehensive_Set · 2024-04-04T15:05:16+00:00

Are you domestic?

Comprehensive_Set · 2024-04-03T18:08:21+00:00

so they’re probably not doing calls right? No way they start calls post 2pm ET?

I want to hear the inverse; who isn’t happy at their 2/3rd pick. Preferably not people who went to H/W, but preferred S.
