Default So, how much do you need for retirement?

I wanted to throw this out there since the White House wants us to invest in the government bonds at a rate of 25%. I've already pointed out that it would wipe out most if not all company matching funds. I wouldn't expect to ever see the money. So I think it would force me to move over to an Roth. Well, then next has got me questioning just how much money you should limit your 401K to? Looking at how they have the law set, you must divide what you have in your account at age 70 by 28 +/- (life expectency) and withdraw that amount. That's taxable income. However, if it's a Roth, it's not. So you could very easialy find yourself in the next tax bracket and these idiots in DC, taking your retirement savings. What goal should you shoot for in your 401K and then switch to a Roth?

How much one needs is the 64,000 dollar question. Depends on ones debt and expected life style at that time. Taking into account both the economy and the value of the dollar, leaves many scratching their heads. This idea of having people forced to investing in government bonds, is but another fly in the ointment. Ihave yet to discuss this with my consultants. Since my time is getting close, I should probably take another avenue in light of this news.

I don't worry about retirement, I'm retiring two weeks after I die! Unless, health comes into play, then I'm royally screwed if I can't make knives.

That is darn hard to say, Will our economy go bust and make all our investments worthless. I wouldn't bet against it.

Look at that. I'm already helping someone save for their retirement.
