Monthly expenses (necessities vs. luxuries)
Total savings from all sources
Projected income
Lifestyle and travel plans

Ms. Smith, a Program participant, looked at different saving scenarios with respect to the annual income she estimated she may need in retirement. She expects to retire at age 70 and wants to ensure she has retirement income for at least 30 years.

Depending on Ms. Smith’s account balance, her account could generate nearly $14,000 to roughly $100,000 per year.

Assumptions: This example assumes a 4% hypothetical rate of return, compounded annually, and that the individual is single. This illustration is hypothetical, is not guaranteed, and is not intended to reflect the performance of any specific investment. It does not account for taxes due upon withdrawal. Actual results will depend upon when you start saving, the number of years you invest in retirement savings, the returns of your actual investments, and other factors.
