>> Yes, it does break down.....generally your mortgage is paid off, your kids are thru school and married. But if your investments have grown and are paying off there's no reason you can't get close to your last salary.....and at some point you have to start taking out your IRA savings and the 401K.....and then your awash in cash.... This may be a difficult concept for you to understand. But your life is YOUR life. It isn't anyone else's. Some doctors are extremely talented with managing money. Others can't do it for shit. I've known people who could spend money by the dumptruck load and never have anything for it. It doesn't matter how much that person makes it is never enough. I've known many doctors who made good money but ended up in bankruptcy. Have a good friend who was a CRNA and made 250K -- that's a CRNA. At 60 he and his wife filed for Chapter 7 and both ended up on Disability (she was legitimately disabled, him, I'm not so sure).
