FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n 1. How common is it for retirees to have $3 million in their retirement accounts?<\/strong> Only a small fraction of retirees have $3 million saved up. Specifically, those with over $1 million in retirement accounts are in the top 3% of retirees. The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) estimates that 3.2% of retirees have over $1 million, and a mere 0.1% have $5 million or more, based on data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. What is the estimated amount of money needed to retire at age 60?<\/strong> To estimate the amount needed to retire at 60, you can use the following calculation: multiply $50,500 by 20 years, which is the period until reaching just beyond the average American’s life expectancy. This calculation suggests you would need approximately $1,010,000. Remember, this amount does not include Social Security benefits and Medicare, which you’ll be eligible for at age 65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Is retiring early with $3 million dollars feasible?<\/strong> Yes, retiring early with $3 million is possible. If you plan to retire at 55, you will have to account for 11 additional years of expenses and 11 fewer years of income compared to retiring at 66. However, with careful planning, $3 million can provide a comfortable retirement starting at 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Would $2 million be sufficient for a couple to retire at 60?<\/strong> Whether $2 million is enough for a couple to retire at 60 largely depends on their desired lifestyle and how much it costs. It’s crucial to calculate the expenses associated with the lifestyle you wish to maintain in retirement to determine if $2 million will be adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
