Great, 10 states that are regular suck and total suck.

Social Security was never intended to be your only source of retirement
income.

[Michael Black]

But frugality is separate from how much money you have, it's about
spending wisely. It really helps if you don't have much money, but can
still be valid if you have more money, and the more money you have, the
easier it is to be frugal.

So this isn't about how much income you'll have in retirement, but where
you get the best return for your income.
