Is $500,000 Enough to Retire at 67?
The Northwestern Mutual 2026 Progress & Planning Study found that 40% of baby boomers fear they'll run out of money during their lifetimes, and 50% of Gen X feel the same. The anxiety may be driven by the number of reports saying the Americans aren't saving enough for retirement -- a message that can be both frightening and frustrating.
The reality is, there is no one-size-fits-all amount that will allow you to retire. While your sibling or best friend may not be comfortable retiring with $500,000 saved, it could be just right for you. It may not be as easy as it would be with more, but it's still possible to make it work.
