Over the past decade, I’ve worked with all sorts of people preparing for retirement. What’s interesting is I cannot find a reliable correlation between income received from employment in relation to how much someone has saved. Some have higher incomes with little savings for retirement. Some have never made more than a modest income while living a happy life and have saved more than seven figures for retirement.
Everyone’s situation is different. The financial variables are endless. However, over the years, I have noticed a theme between those who have enough saved for retirement (based on their expectations) and those who do not have enough.
