Steve, considering early retirement, had just met with his company’s retirement specialist. He learned that if he worked two more years, until he was 65, his pension would be worth 15% more than if he retired now. “That’s a lot of money, Susan!” he said to his wife. “But then ... shouldn’t we do some traveling now, while we both have our health?” Susan agreed: "We have to figure out a way to make it happen." She pointed out that they both had retirement plans and savings; Steve had a 403(b) plan and she had a 401(k) plan in addition to her savings account. It was hard to know where to start. Neither one of them knew how much it would cost to live in retirement.
