Really? You came to the Dark Side for financial advice?



But, since YOU asked.....

There are a ton of Financial Calculators out there that will tell you exactly everything you ever wanted to know about your current and future finances/worth.

Only real snag with those calculators is that they take a "best guess using today's data" at future inflation.

<INSERT YOUR FAVORITE DARK SIDE POLITICAL PARTY HERE> and the future results of what that inflation will be will vary greatly.

No one can truly predict our future inflation at the time you decide to retire. That BigMac, at the time of your retirement, might cost $8...or it might cost $80.....

Best universal advice seems to indicate that if one wants to be adequately prepared for their retirement and future as a "get off my lawn" yelling Old Fart, save early and save often then save some more.
