How Much to Retire Comfortably $250K, $500K, $750K, and $1M

Описание: This guide explores how different savings levels—ranging from $250,000 to $1 million—affect lifestyle and financial security in retirement. Using a 4.7% withdrawal rate and accounting for Social Security benefits, it demonstrates how varying income can result in either a “barebones” or “luxurious” retirement. A key focus is on the timing of Social Security claims, showing that delaying benefits until age 70 can significantly boost monthly payments. Beyond the numbers, the guide highlights psychological pitfalls, such as taking excessive risks with smaller nest eggs or chasing arbitrary wealth goals. Ultimately, it advises retirees to prioritize time and personal lifestyle objectives over comparisons with others.
