The crucial conversation when it comes to retirement is all about how much you need to have saved. The traditional $1 million benchmark doesn’t have as much staying power as it used to. In fact, a recent study found that Americans believe they need at least $1.5 million to retire comfortably.

We’ve found that most people believe they’ll need a lot more saved before they can retire or they feel like they need to work a lot longer than they actually do.

So what’s the true answer? Well, it’s different for every individual but today we’ll look at the data and break down the numbers to help you get an idea of how much you’re going to need to retire.
