$100k isn't much to retire on, either.

In this economy? Mind as well be nothing. If you're retiring at 64 it'll be enough to keep you comfy till your mid 70s if you keep a modest lifestyle. Then you're fucked because by that point nobody is hiring someone in their mid 70s for work.

Indeed. That's the norm for boomers when I was younger. More like 67 now and when we get older probably our 70s lol.
