‘My retirement is going to be a disaster’: I’m 59 and have $45,000 in my
401(k). I earn $72,000. Am I doomed?

However, it seems like no matter what I do today that my retirement is going to
be a disaster. My student loans are burying me, and the fact that I really
didn’t start contributing to a 401(k) until the age of 50 has me so far behind
that I’m all but certain to struggle mightily in retirement.
What advice can you provide someone who’s truly struggling financially?

Advice?
Mine would be move to Nepal, as an airbnb in Japan seems out of the question

Alcohol may help here
