I have a pension plan through Deloitte aside from our 401k, but it truly isnt that much.

Then I looked at the assumptions, they sure have rosy colored glasses.
The retirement calculators also assume that your expenses will be the same as they are now. Which is silly.
No, Im not living in the DC area and putting 2 kids in daycare/private school / college when I retire.
Living on a boat in mexico is pretty damn cheap.
