Agreed. I’m mid-50s, my wife and I together have a net worth of about 1 mill, and I had a negative net worth 20 years ago. Two things: 1) A million isn’t much anymore, but it’s comfortable. 2) Without the Lord it’s hopeless.

The best part is, I live in the USA and this is the land where that can happen. Happy 250 USA!

>> 2) Without the Lord it’s hopeless.

Amen. “Unless the LORD build the house, he that build it labors in vain...”

You nailed it, without Jesus it’s all hopeless.

1) A million isn’t much anymore, but it’s comfortable.

That will get you a older two bed apartment or one bed with den in the local retirement community. Both apartments will be in a very depressing old brick building. It will take an entrance fee of $133,000 or $96,000 with monthly payments of $2,270 or $1,845.

It goes up from there, just for apartments in the old building. Newly constructed very nice homes and condos cost way way more.
