12. Retirement
How much should I save for retirement?
*The 10x savings rules of thumb are developed assuming age-based asset allocations consistent with the equity glide path of a typical target
date retirement fund, a 15% savings rate, a 1.5% constant real wage growth, a retirement age of 67, and a planning age through 92. The
replacement annual income target is defined as 45% of preretirement annual income and assumes no pension income. This target is based on
Consumer Expenditure Survey 2011 (BLS), Statistics of Income 2011 Tax Stat, IRS 2014 tax brackets, and Social Security Benefit Calculators.*
