After stashing away $3 million our retirement accounts, we're set to retire this year - do we have enough saved to live the lifestyle we've dreamed about?

Retirement planning is complex and varies widely based on personal lifestyle choices and financial strategies. Some individuals may require as little as $1-2 million for a comfortable retirement, while others with extravagant lifestyles may need upwards of $12 million. This article highlights the case of a Reddit couple who have saved approximately $3 million in retirement accounts but adopt a conservative investment strategy, raising questions about whether their caution might hinder their retirement potential. Finding the right retirement figure depends on balancing anticipated expenses with overall investment comfort.

It's tough to retire a tad earlier than the traditional age, even though you may know at heart that you've probably got far more than enough.

For others, whose dream retirement lifestyle entails frequent travels, upgrading to a larger home, a fancy collection of cars, luxury products, a boat, and lavish gifts for loved ones, it could take closer to $12 million (or more) to sustain a lifestyle.
