Most are NOT, but why?
- People are living longer. For those couples age 65, one of you will live past 90.
- The average 65-year-old couple retiring this year will need about $280,000 just to cover healthcare in retirement. Do you have an extra $280k laying around?
- College is expensive, depending if it is a public vs private school – average in-state tuition, housing, and fees = $25,290 vs $50,900.
- You may think you are on track if you have $1 million saved by the time retirement comes around; however, this may mean you can only spend 3% of that and have it last 30 to 40 years inflation adjusted. That is only $30,000 per year or $2,500 monthly. Are you sure that’s enough?
