This is how much San Diegans think they need to retire

How often do you look at your retirement savings or investments and worry you don’t have enough set aside?

How much is enough, anyway?

A new study from Northwestern Mutual has revealed exactly how much San Diegans think they will need to have a comfortable retirement.

That amount: $2.1 million.

That is significantly more than what people across the U.S. think they will need — $1.46 million — and right in sync with the local high cost of housing, health care and more

Not only do people here expect they’ll need more than the average. The amount needed is higher in San Diego than any other metro area surveyed. The next highest was San Francisco, at $1.9 million. The lowest: Atlanta, at just under a million.
