💰 Can You Still Retire With One Million Dollars? | Retirement Planning Explained
For years, $1 million was the magic retirement number. But with inflation, higher living costs, and longer lifespans — that number might not go as far as it used to.
In this video, I break down whether $1 million is still enough to retire, how to calculate your retirement number, and what really determines if you’ll be financially secure when you stop working.
We’ll look at guaranteed income (Social Security and pensions), retirement account balances, home equity, monthly expenses, and lifestyle goals — the full picture of what retirement really costs today.
📊 This is the same process I use with clients and inside my Middle Class Money Club to help families build confidence and clarity around retirement.
