We often hear how $1,000,000 isn’t enough to retire on anymore. For some people, that might be true – $1,000,000 might not be enough! In this episode we’ll discuss whether or not $1,000,000 is enough by age, how much you need to save to get there, and, if $1,000,000 isn’t enough, how much you need to retire.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How much you need to save to get to $1,000,000 by retirement
  • How much you should be saving by age
  • If $1,000,000 will be enough to retire
