Truth is if you do not have at least 1 million in your 401k at retirement you will not have a good retirement,

You call living in a rundown trailer park and drinking cheap boxed wine not a good retirement? Try it. It's not that bad. And when it is . . no whining just more wineing.

LOL if that is your vision of a good retirement awesome!

I prefer to at least have a good meal and an actual house that will not fall down around me or situated in a neighborhood next to 3 local drug dealers and shootings ever weekend :p

Kidding aside, some people are very happy living in a trailer and doing nothing in retirement. Most people can afford that and my parents did something similar for 20 plus years with just Social Security coming in.

I'm better situated for my retirement but I don't plan on joining a golf club or taking cruises. I was able to get all the traveling and vacationing out of my system during my working years. It helped that I took every business trip offered to me - why not see the world on the company dime!

Now as I approach retirement, I plan to just sit out on my front porch with my dog and watch the world go by. Maybe take some long morning and sundown walks. Definitely get stacks of books at the library and read them! Listen to music and podcasts all day.

All that stuff is cheap.
