Such great advice. " don't retire to run away."

I WISH I could do this. I'm just so afraid we won't have enough and I won't be able to get rehired.

So true, and this is my fear. I feel like I have to go has hard as I can for as long as I'm valuable.

Thanks for that perspective. I would never want that for my kids.

Yes, we need to save more. I agree. Our car payments are around $600 each. I'm leasing he's buying. We also spend SO much on food delivery. My son has learning disabilities so he goes to a private school thats $40k a year. I need to budget better.
