能退休吗

前几天整理那从原单位拿回来的东西。本以为心平了，但看到一张2005底的工资单，让我心中又有起伏。我现在的工资又回到了那时的水平。今天面试回家，看到了原单位的W2，叹口气，2013可能是我此生收入最多的。人未老珠已黄，49岁重打江山，恐怕就是打个退休的钱，幸亏孩子毕业了，没有任何贷款。

和现在单位一将退休的老头约好了下星期一起吃午餐，也可以讨论一下退休计划。他们那些老人的401K也就六十多万，到退休也没我现在的工资高，只要计划好，没有债务，也行了。

查了下历史，401K开始于1980年，但没有几家公司有，直到90年才普及，那时人退休靠公司的退休金，也就几百至近千元，并且那些老人平均工资都低。所以如果有六十万的401K应该很好了。当然，如果有人好运，公司让直接投资在股票，上百万的可能也是有的，但很少。

这些年，变化真大，钱越来越不值钱。等我退休不知道是个什么世界。
