    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. How much money do I actually need to retire?

    Ans: A common rule of thumb is the “4% rule,” which suggests you will need roughly 25 times your annual post-retirement expenses saved to safely withdraw income without running out of money. Most financial advisors estimate you will need about 70% to 80% of your pre-retirement annual income to maintain your standard of living.

    2. What is the best age to start saving for retirement?

    Ans: The best time to start saving for retirement was ten years ago; the second best time is today. Because compound interest relies heavily on time, starting in your twenties versus your thirties can literally double your final retirement savings without requiring you to put away more monthly cash.

    3. What should I do if my retirement calculator results show a shortfall?

    Ans: If the numbers show you are falling behind, you have three primary levers you can pull: increase your monthly savings rate (even by 1% to 2% a year), push back your target retirement age by a few years to allow more compounding time, or plan for a slightly more conservative post-retirement lifestyle.
