Team Clark Survey Results! This week, we asked you to share how much money is "enough" money. Here are a few responses that we received:
Mark in Florida: "$4 million. I'm 70 and plan to live 20 more years hopefully. My wife is 60 and should live 30 more years. I have more than that now, but who knows what illness or calamity could befall us and we need to be prepared."
David in Florida: "$80,000 per year. I'm 87 and my wife is 84. In addition to our living expenses, each year we like to send our children and their spouse all together on a two- to three-week tour to different places. We've been able to do this the last 11 years and they all enjoy the tours and being together."
Stacey in Iowa: "My wife and I just retired at 54 years old. We have a brand new house on our dream 25 acres and have $3.5 million in our 401(k). We want to live on $100K a year. We're in this position all because of Clark. We listened to him for 25 years."
Mike in Florida: "Not enough money in the world. Because I want to live forever. Sorry, but I don't want to be the richest guy in the graveyard!"
