@dr.victoriavmd: I honestly don’t save that aggressively for retirement- beyond the basics I’m not trying to die a millionaire- there’s something about meeting people at the end of life every day at work that makes you not care too much about roth’s and investments and 401ks and all those things that honestly- you may never see #retirement #cancer #cancerdoctor #doctorsoftiktok #medtok

Oncology nurse here! I save enough in my 401k to get the match and a little bit of side investing in my Roth and that’s it! I spend every last cent I make 🤣 mostly on my kids and travel.

alot of ppl have travel dreams but wait until they're in their 60s and 70s. experiencing Paris or Amsterdam at 25 is way different than 65

🤣🤣🤣 My husband and I have saved and worked so hard to retire early. We were supposed to be moving to Greece last month. But I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer Xmas eve last year. I know…I’m going to beat it. But our early retirement plans have changed drastically.

exactly! we only hear about how spending excessively is risky (which is true). but we hardly hear about aggressively saving for a future that is not guaranteed.... is also by definition a risk!

It’s just a balance like anything, there’s people that die of cancer right after retiring and then there’s people that have to live in their car when they’re old because they didn’t save any money. Save something, but make sure you live your life along the way.

I’m a death investigator at our medical examiners office. I do not save. I have seen first hand that tomorrow is NOT promised. The amount of families who say they wish they had just one more day.

Agree 100% nothing was more heartbreaking than hearing stories of people who waited to live their life after retirement only to get diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Lost my brother to cancer a few years ago - he was 34. I used to have spending anxiety and saved every penny - now I spend most of it on trips I never imagined I’d go on! Spend it!!!

Conversely, I’m not working until I’m 70 only to die a year later. So I saved for retirement and just retired at 51.

My dad was diagnosed with metastatic cancer last week. His retirement was already scheduled for 6/30. 😭😭😭 It’s not fair.

So happy we worked part time in our 40s, enjoyed our children, took the trips, made the memories. Husband fighting Stage 4 cancer at 53…still making memories and trying to enjoy our time in between treatments, but so thankful we didn’t wait to live. ❤️

My high school teacher was counting down the months until retirement. She was 3 months from retirement when she had a stroke and died. Live your life now

YES👏🏻. I'm a RN. I've worked Neuro/Trauma ICU, ED, and hospice. I'm saving for retirement and traveling and living now. My longevity, mobility, and partner are not guaranteed for the next 50 years

This is 💯true. My dad passed from pancreatic cancer at age 61. He was in the middle of building a big dream home for my mom and him…Where they’d spend their golden years together. That never came. We finished the house for him. Do the things now while you can!

Dr. J. Jekyllweed :
When I was in my 30’s I thought I would retire in my late 60’s. Now that I am 72 I have no plans to retire. I have an amazing solo medical practice which provides my life with a wonderful sense of meaning and purpose, an important component of my personal longevity program. For my entire 41 years of practice I’ve only worked 4 days a week. Back in 1985 when I was a senior FP resident a physician in private practice at a lunchtime lecture told us soon to be completing residency seniors who were entering private practice to begin by only working 4 days a week. I followed his advice. I now work 3 1/2 days a week and take two 3 week vacations a year, one of which I am on right now, sitting in Copenhagen airport on my way to Norway. So the balance between work and non work is good.
