How Much Do You REALLY Need to Retire? Is $1 Million Enough?
How much do you really need to retire?
In this episode, I break down the numbers behind retirement using the 4% and 5% rules, while factoring in Social Security, taxes, housing, inflation, and changing spending needs.
I also explore FIRE, the guardrails approach, Monte Carlo analysis, and practical portfolio strategies to help you think more realistically about your financial independence number.
