Hindsight is always 20/20 but with advances in medicine you can't assume you'll die at the same age as your parents and grandparents.<br /><br />I agree with your plan for retirement to downsize and work part-time. I don't expect to receive any SSA benefits since I'm 40 and SSA will most likely be broke by then due to the large number of retiring boomers and smaller numbers of GenX and GenY paying into SSA. I think it's a good idea to work part-time regardless of your financial status at retirement because it not only supplements your retirement it gets you out of the house and makes you feel like a contributing member of society.<br /><br />- DavidMBAbriefshttp://www.mbabriefs.comnoreply@blogger.com
