Retirement Planning: How Much Should You Have Saved by 60?
At Pearl Wealth Group, we understand the importance of retirement planning, and we know it can be challenging to determine how much to save for retirement. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you determine the amount of savings you should have by age 60.
We recommend that by the time you reach age 60, you should have at least eight times your annual salary saved for retirement. This recommendation is based on a few key factors, including your expected retirement age, your anticipated retirement expenses, and your desired retirement lifestyle.
Determining your retirement savings goal can be challenging, but it’s essential to take the time to plan for your future. Here’s what you need to know:
Step 1: Determine Your Retirement Age
The first step in retirement planning is to determine when you plan to retire. Your retirement age can significantly impact how much you need to save for retirement. The longer you wait to retire, the more you’ll need to save to reach your retirement savings goal.
Step 2: Estimate Your Retirement Expenses
Once you have determined your retirement age, you’ll need to estimate your retirement expenses. Your retirement expenses will depend on your desired retirement lifestyle, including your housing costs, travel expenses, healthcare costs, and more.
To determine your retirement expenses, you’ll need to create a retirement budget. This budget should include all of your expected expenses in retirement, including essential living expenses, such as housing and healthcare, as well as discretionary expenses, such as travel and entertainment.
Step 3: Calculate Your Retirement Savings Goal
Once you have estimated your retirement expenses, you can calculate your retirement savings goal. To determine your retirement savings goal, you’ll need to use a retirement calculator, which takes into account your expected retirement age, your anticipated retirement expenses, your expected Social Security benefits, and other sources of retirement income.
Based on our recommendations, we recommend that you have at least eight times your annual salary saved for retirement by age 60. If you earn $100,000 per year, for example, you should have at least $800,000 saved for retirement by age 60.
Step 4: Review Your Retirement Plan Regularly
Retirement planning is an ongoing process, and it’s essential to review your retirement plan regularly to ensure you’re on track to meet your retirement savings goal. As you approach retirement age, you may need to adjust your retirement plan to ensure you have enough savings to support your desired retirement lifestyle.
