Everyone knows saving for retirement is important, but do you know how much you need to save for retirement? This is where my job comes in. Do you have any idea? If you were able to save $1 Million for retirement this is what it would mean to save $1million.
Every day about 10,000 people turn 65 years old. Right now the current retirement age is 63. The current life expectancy for someone retired is about 79 years old. If you figure out how much time you need to plan for retirement would be about 16 years you need to save up for.
I find that people who come into my office lack the savings needed to live through their retirement. It is common to hear someone say saving a nest egg of at least $1 million for retirement, but do you know how much exactly $1 million would get you in buying power? This depends on where you live, you can go to GoBankingRates to see average expenditures in your state. It takes into consideration all expenses to figure out the cost of living to determine an average budget for someone retiring.
You can also divide the $1 million by the cost per state this will determine how long $1 million will last you as a retiree. If you live in Texas $1 Million will last you 23 years, 11 months, 2 days.
