How Long $2 Million Will Last in Every State If Social Security Runs Out

Modern retirees (or those soon to retire) have every reason to be concerned about our current era of economic instability, as well as the future of Social Security. Indeed, the Social Security program is beset with problems, and could possibly run out of money by the mid 2030s. With that in mind, it’s very possible that a massive number of future retirees will have to rely upon savings rather than Social Security to enjoy their retirement. All of which begs the question – how long could a retiree coast on savings (say, an estimated $2 million) throughout retirement?
