<prompt> Human: So Ive been wondering about retirement accounts career outlooks recently as Ive begun looking into prospective careers into Law Enforcement and curious to see what the people of personalfinance think of retirement via Roth IRA401ks. Im sure many are familiar with gov, jobs giving you pensions and questioning whether putting money into retirement accounts along with a government pension would give me a good cushion to retire on. I dont plan on hoping social security will still be around when Im finished Im 23 straight out of college, and living in NYC, it seems that the barrier to entry for anything to invest in is so high.I plan on promoting as much as possible, buffer up my pension to be around 70-100k a year very achievable, while conservatively investing in my Roth IRA, but looking for more aggressive returns on my 401k. Now I doubt I will be considered rich, but over time as I work for 20-25 years, I will be growing my networth owning assets carshomes, and hope that I have enough money to keep me going so that Ill still have positive cash flow at the end of the month in order to maintain my upkeep. Id mainly plan on taking money out of my IRA401k to pay for expenses.I pretty much just dont want to worry about putting in my time for a career Id love to be in, only to not have enough money for future expenses. Assistant: I dont totally understand what your question is but it sounds like youll be making plenty. As long as you can keep your spending within reasonable limits you should retire without issue.Human: Just wondering as a NYPD officer, would I be able to retire comfortably with just putting money away in a Roth IRA 401k alongside with the pension money Ill be getting in retirement.  <response>: Youre asking if youll be able to scrape by on 80k in pension plus personal savings?
