I havent really been saving at all. Right now if I had to guess it would be >10k

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

ok, whoever it is that has 500k+ saved and is in their thirties, I will take your job.

I don't think I'll ever be saving for retirement as I don't intend to retire. I'll give myself safety headroom of course, but not retirement sums.

Hmm.. that's weird, thought I responded to this thread.

Not a lot saved up... I have a pretty good pension. Plus, I have a second home which should provide a steady stream of income throughout my retirement. I have enough equity in my home right now that I could repeat the process, should some opportunity (tax sale/foreclosure) present itself to me where I could rent a place out for more than I pay between the mortgage, taxes, and repairs. Then, when the mortgage is paid off and I retire, the rent money, minus taxes, is a steady source of income. Should I ever end up short, I could sell one of the houses, and have that additional money available.

Anticipated living expences when I retire: electric, telephone (unless between now and then, broadband finally becomes available in this area), property taxes, food, probably some medicine, and fishing tackle.

Your poll doesn't really work since you can't tell how much you saved at what age.
