I’ve been reading other responses and I don’t know if we’re talking net assets, or income per year.
A joint income of $100K-150K/year allows a very comfortable life, but even modest houses are worth $$$ because the market has gone up.
I haven’t seen anyone talk about long-term care yet, which can easily cost $100K/year, and you might need it for several years. EEK!
Do we assume the sale of a house to afford elder care?
what if social security/medicare disappears?
