Lee has been working in the financial industry for over 16 years, and during that time, has encountered a wide variety of financial planning questions. However, there is one question that seems to come up more frequently than any other: “How much do I need to retire?” Is one million enough for everyone? Although it appears to be a straightforward question, we’re going to dive into the complexities of this topic today.
In today’s discussion, we will explore the significance of tracking your expenses leading up to retirement and why a million-dollar retirement fund may not be the optimal amount for everyone.
