In reply to the discussion: If you are between 30-50 .. how do you feel about your nest egg? [View all]LostinRed
(840 posts)35. All I have is a 401k
I have been investing in it the last 10 years however I'm about five years behind. I've been averaging a 14% return the last few years thanks to that socialist Obama. The problem is according to the retirement calculator on Fidelity's site I need 2 million dollars to retire and continue my current lifestyle and I'm no where near that and my calculations of my current rate of return and investment I won't meet that unless I work well beyond the normal retirement age. Fortunately, I don't and never will have kids so I don't have to worry about paying for college.
