At what age do you think you will be able to retire? I am curious to see how optimistic the SD community is.
SAHM directions Please indicate the age that you think your GTWD (go to work Dad) will be able to retire. I know most of you work hard during the day, but that's not what I am asking about

I'd suggest a shower. Maybe a little delousing, too.....just be safe.
And I have an amazing ability to smell silicone, botulism, and chemical tans.
Now granted, I am not socking away 30% of my income, but I have saved pretty good compared to the average person.
I'm really worried that after all this savings, I will only have enough to live maybe 5-7 years (modestly) off of.
I could easily see property taxes when I am 70 being higher than my mortgage is now.. sigh.
I don't want to be a burden on my kids.

Have you thought about calling Chuck?

No.. ever since I found out that Index funds beat the vast majority of managed funds (about 85%-90%) I have seen no need to have "professionals" pick stocks and run up commisions against my accounts.

For the first time in my life I had to ask myself what a tanning bed smells like. Seeing as how I have no earthly idea, I can only surmise that it must smell like whatever the set of a porn movie smells like.......what with all of the sweaty nakedness and all. If I am, in fact, right, I suggest you take my advice on the shower and delousing.

You left out liberal though

All of my leftover money and investment income is in index funds for this same reason, but I didn't know the margin between indexed and managed funds has grown so much. That's sadly funny.
