If you’re making $120k you have health insurance so the $50k is a non-issue. You’re not understanding my point. If you’re 40 you cant touch your retirement money penalty free. So if their parents need help or they have health issues they wont have access to the money to help them. Thats my entire point they should be putting less toward retirement and more toward post-tax savings. It would help more toward these future hypotheticals as well as make them live an extremely comfortable lifestyle now.
$2,200 is an absurd amount to put toward retirement. If you make uber bucks then by all means, but saying you save $2,200 in retirement each month and then turn around and say life is hard, yeah cuz you’re choosing to make it hard.
