#15 He doesn’t say how old but he does say he wants to retire in 10 years…

How old is Marvin? I didn’t see that. To me, that would be an important thing to know to factor in how much he needs to be saving.

If I had a $800,000 nest egg, I would not ask a 30-year old blogger for advice !!

Time to retire from TSD?

Wonder how long it would take Trent to notice if everyone stopped making comments.

Don’t believe Trent reads this. Think he has these up to “auto post”.

And Trent offers no insight into that.

But eventually, you have to ask “Do I have enough to retire now, or not?”

“Save every dime” is an OK strategy for a young person

Another insipid post. Trent, stick to coupons.

Johanna — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:19:47 +0000

Which is just silly.

Johanna — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:19:18 +0000

Unless his answer is “No amount of savings is EVER enough”

Johanna — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:18:38 +0000

And Trent never answered Marvin’s question…

The 4% rule DOES account for volatility and inflation.
