Subscribed. Because I'd like to know as well.
I think the first step is to estimate how much you'll need to retire, and depending on how close you are to that number, invent accordingly.
It used to be "you need a million to retire". Is that still the case? More? Less? My brother-in-law is 70, and says he's spending much less than he estimated. Do you want to leave some to your kids, or a charity?
My father had a heart attack and died at 64. Both my grandfathers died at 64. Buy I have uncles on both sides who lived into their 90's. So I need either $0 or another number. I told the wife that when I'm gone she needs to move into a condo or apartment, because there's no way she'll be able to keep up the house and yard.
