While it can be true for some, it's actually one of the most misleading rules of thumb in the industry. In this video, David explains why retirement isn't about hitting an arbitrary net worth number. It's about income, lifestyle, flexibility and having a thoughtful plan and approach that works for you and your situation. Using two real-world examples, you'll see why a couple with $500,000 is much better positioned for retirement than a couple with $1 Million. We’ll discuss: - Lifestyle & spending needs - Social Security and other income sources - Life expectancy considerations - Financial flexibility during market downturns A resilient retirement isn't built around a magic number. It's built around a plan. Let's dive in. _________________________________________________________ Investment advisory services offered through Foundations Investment Advisors, LLC (“Foundations”), an SEC registered investment adviser.
