Here’s how long retirement savings will last in your state

The American Association of Retired Persons suggests the average working American accumulate 10 to 12 times their current annual income by the time of retirement.

Likewise, the organization says people should aim toward a goal of $1 million or more in savings in order to live comfortably after they discontinue work.

Retirees should have ‘at least 100 percent of their pre-retirement income each year for at least the first 10 years after,’ managing principal at EisnerAmper Wealth Advisor, Dan Yu, said in a statement.

While the numbers may seem daunting in the big picture, experts say the goal may be achievable if people are responsible with their finances and plan for their future.

With average target savings being $1million, how long should retirees expect the money to last?

GoBankingRates.com calculated the predictions by averaging the total needed expenditures for retirees aged 65 and up. From there, they multiplied that number by the living index cost for each region to give a careful estimate.

Here’s what the report showed:
