Reply to comment by KCPilot17 in Are We Doing Retirement Contributions Right? by findingnemo202020

In theory, we should have our mortgage paid off by then. We have no plans to move and love our house. I would say 2k/month would allow us to live quite well but we could easily get away with less, barring any major catastrophes.

My husband and also has a pension and will likely retire from his job. I also have a pension but I'm not sure I will stay here long enough to benefit from it.

Husband is also eligible for retired employee rates for health insurance, so it will actually be pretty affordable if he/we decide to retire early (which is a goal of ours).

You are still in your 20s, already have a house, earn above 100k, and are contributing 20% to retirement? You're in amazingly good shape. And a pension? Wow. Time for babies.
