Traditional retirement planning promotes a "Luxury" lifestyle, or as I prefer, an over-consumption lifestyle. Look at all the retirement books and magazines with the word "Rich" in their title. It's all about greed. In reality, traditional retirement creates an elusive target, which most Americans will never achieve. With traditional retirement planning you get penalized for being successful. If you make $80,000 per year, traditional retirement planning calculates, that you will need $1,600,000 to retire. If you get a $10,000 raise next year, your retirement savings needs goes up to $1,800,000, a $200,000 increase. How long will it take you to save an additional $200,000? Traditional retirement planning is illogical and inaccurate. It's nothing more than a sloppy guess. Thanks, Ramsay Mameesh Carol:
