Here is a post I put up a year ago concerning how much money a deadzoner would have in retirement given they retired then. They would actually have more now given an add year to save:
“By doing quick math and piecing together the amount of note and claim money an average DZ received invested at 10% rate of return, the average PBGC monthly payment, and a reasonable investment strategy of $50k AVERAGE invested for 15 years in DC and other areas at 10% rate of return and a 5% rate of return after retirement NOT CORRECTED FOR INFLATION on the above money and social security. A DZ should be pulling down.....$18,500 per month in retirement if retiring tomorrow.
You may have different feelings about that number but throw me in that briar patch. And my math may be wrong. But prove me wrong please with more exact numbers.
This is based on posts I have seen in the past few days. Those numbers may not be average. I used $58k as the note claim number and $3000 as the social security number.”
