Do you have a target age for retirement? If so, what steps are you taking to make it happen? For me, I’m aiming to retire by 55 (or even earlier if I can make it work!) I’ve been focusing on maxing out my retirement savings, making smarter investments, and cutting back on unnecessary spending. I’ve also started exploring side hustles and passive income ideas, like renting out part of my house as an Airbnb. It’s definitely a work in progress and would like to hear your perspectives.

59 for me. Planning for gap year income and taxes with my advisor. I am lucky to be able to get health insurance through my husband’s state pension until Medicare. Definitely plan to take SS at 62 and invest it. The payoff is bigger than waiting for a higher monthly payment

How will you pay for healthcare?

65 for me, for Medicare. But holding on SS, if I can, until 67.

I’m 65.5 and I’m working as long as they will have me.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
