If you serve as president of the US for 1 term you're good to retire without any money saved.

Jerry!

Similar to the old saying for trading in the stock market: To make a million $ in the stock market, start with 2 million dollars!"

"To retire with $500K, start with 1 million $!"

Be well! Ed

I plan on taking a walk every day. I should find a penny per day where ever I go. I have found $200.52 since I started this plan. At this rate, it will quite a few years. But I’m in it until I manage to save/find all that money. It took me several months of saving the water jugs from work.

By not doing any thing illegal I should score big in a few years. Yeah!

Since timing is damn near everything ----
What "IF" you had the 500k or pretty close to it say in 1997 and then invested it & found a way to stay alive & put up with being employed for yet another eight to 10yrs -
This "could" be a true story or "not"
Otherwise, I think you are eating day old Rice Cakes

I’m not really fond of Rice Cakes. I would rather have a bowl of Ramen Noodles

Save till it (almost) hurts! I saved like crazy when we were 1st married, in order to build our home. Made something, like $8.00 per hour at the time. I was saving around $1000 per month, and my wife thought I was crazy! I Squeaked when I walked, lol. Still do fairly good, particularly at spending it, lol. In my opinion, the worst thing for a 'budget', is restaurants!
