I think the big problem we're seeing now is that none of the boomers seem to have those debt obligations taken care of, so retirement becomes an impossibility.
Also factor in the home being paid for, which eliminates a good % of your expenses, and it would allow you to downsize or sell outright if needed for economic reasons.

Like like a king for the last 5 years of your life in a rental property!
