The Magic Number for a "Comfortable" Retirement is $1.2 Million. Here's How Much You Might Need to Invest Each Month to Be on Track for That
Investing regularly in the stock market can be an effective way for investors to build up their nest egg for retirement.
Overview
How much someone needs for retirement can vary greatly depending on where they live and what kind of lifestyle they want to maintain. According to a recent retirement survey from investment firm Schroders, in order to "retire comfortably," Americans estimate they'll need to have around $1.2 million saved up.
That's a high figure, but the good news is even if someone doesn't have a large lump sum saved up today, they can still potentially be on track to retire with that much by making regular monthly investments in the stock market. Here's a look at how much someone would need to invest each month to be on track to reach that goal.
