This Is How Much You Should Have Saved for Retirement by Age 50
Briefly

While reaching a specific savings goal by 50 is a critical benchmark for a secure retirement for many, factors like health, lifestyle choices, and debt can significantly impact this target. We don't recommend throwing benchmarks out the window completely, though. However, this guideline should be a starting point.
Reaching your savings goal by 50 provides peace of mind. Having a financial cushion helps reduce stress and allows greater flexibility with retirement planning.
Saving for retirement by 50 is a vital step towards financial security. Saving early harnesses the power of compound interest, allowing your money to grow significantly over time.
We recommend saving 3 to 6 times your annual salary by 50 for most individuals. This target puts you on the 'average person's' retirement path, but it should be adjusted to meet your individual needs.
