A recent article talked about how a multiplier of eight times your income is the approximate size of the nest egg one would need in order to retire comfortably. In our planning process we prefer not to pull numbers out of the air. Is eight the right number? It may be or may not be. The key is to begin with the end in mind and if we know what ones income need is, then it’s just a mathematical process of figuring out what they would need X amount of years from now. With that number we can then look at the marketplace and the array of options available to generate income and find out specifically what size of nest egg would be needed to accomplish that number. My point is, planning doesn’t have to be mystical, it’s just math.
