It turns out that the burbs arent San Francisco but theyre not cheap, either.

This figure is based on the assumption that a comfortable retirement nest egg would be around $1.5 million.

Typically, a comfortable retirement requires 70% to 80% of pre-retirement income.

This is the basis of Shirshikovs assessment that the average suburbanite needs $3 million to retire rich.

Keep in mind that $60,000 would be the base amount for the first years withdrawal only.

Doubling this to $3 million would provide $120,000 annually, said Shirshikov.

This would allow for a more luxurious lifestyle, additional travel and greater financial security.
