    And still 700K for retirement is still low since I’m sure they’re using the US median salary and the old adage of saving 10 times your salary for retirement. So far every place I’ve worked and attended the financial seminar, my own retirement manager, and my sister who works in the industry have told me you really should be saving 15 - 20 time your salary if you want to live comfortably.

    So to me what this article is saying is that you’ll need that just so you can live pay check to pay check through retirement and still be stressed the fuck out and at risk for being homeless in your golden years.

      How exactly is one supposed to store more than one makes?

        Probably 15-20 your annual salary. So if you make 50k you should have $750k- 1 mil saved when you retire.
