Today’s question is about “How much money do I need to retire comfortably?”

Phil shares three thoughts that will help you with this planning, including some wisdom from his retired father-in-law.
Ask ‘How long would you like to be retired and how much would you like as an income?’.
My father-in-law says when you are retired you will want life to be simple
– have enough money to live comfortably
– have enough money to travel to see the people that you love
– have enough money to have fun
-You can take two different approaches to funding your retirement:
a) money saved in the bank
b) recurring income that continues in retirement
