Default Re: What\'s your retirement nut?

For those that want to try and figure out what they will need, a rough estimate is a 4% withdrawal rate at retirement. Meaning you'll need roughly 25 times your desired annual income.

So, if you expect to live off of $100,000 per year in retirement, you'll need $2.5m saved by the time you retire.

4% is a rough guideline and YMMV, but it's a good target to plan for.
