If you're over 50, do you have a plan, if any, about setting up for retirement, if you can?
Currently I don't, and expect I will have to work until I'm at least 70 or longer. I'm 53 now.
Mostly this is connected to having no feasible way to get out of renting and into owning a property that I can build equity into (by paying it off, or buying it mostly outright).
The 'fire' thing (financial independent retire early) idea is lost on me. When I get to to about 60 onwards I'll be able to, if I want to, stop working and access my super (like 401k) to do something with that.
My priority at the moment is my 4 y/o daughter so in a lot of ways I put myself second to her needs.
