How Much Do You Need to Retire?
The popular 4% Rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings annually without running out of money (based on a 30-year retirement). This means you need 25× your expected annual spending. If you need $48,000/year, your target nest egg is $1.2 million.
- Start Early: Every decade of delay roughly halves your final balance due to lost compounding time.
- Diversify: A mix of stocks, bonds, and real estate smooths out volatility over long time horizons.
- Increase Contributions: Even adding $100/month extra in your 30s can add $100,000+ to your retirement balance by 65.
