Ten states with $1 million in retirement savings to last
Now more and more Americans think they need at least $1 million to safely retire. In which states can you live longer on this amount, reports Insider.
A study by Northwestern Mutual that surveyed 2022 American adults in February 2381 found that most of them believe they will need $1,25 million in savings to get out of work.
Meanwhile, a 2021 Charles Schwab survey of American workers found that the average respondent said they needed $1,9 million to retire.
But this assessment is far from the reality of most Americans.

Few US retirees have $1 million in savings. The latest data from the Federal Reserve shows that Americans of retirement age had just $2019 in their retirement accounts in 164.
According to an analysis published on February 20 by GoBankingRates, in some US states, savings of $1 million will only last a little over 10 years for a retiree. For example, according to a financial analysis report, $1 million is only enough for a retiree for 10 years and three months in Hawaii, largely due to the high cost of housing. This amount of savings is enough for about 14 years in New York.
