But I know what you mean, it does seem daunting. But I know it's not impossible, and I think the fact that you're aware of it and putting things away for the future now will go a long way.

I have a hard time seeing where I will ever have saved up enough money to live in retirement comfortably--unless I die young:) With my MS, I have higher medical costs now, I am sure they will be more in the future.... And well watching my Mom pay $4000 per month to live in a care facility--well that would burn through alot of money quickly. Iam saving, don't get me wrong, in my retirement plan through work. It just seems impossible to me to actually get to that point. Am I just too much of a pessimist? Or a realist? I do agree with you BM…
