The new magic number for retirement is up slightly from last year, when U.S. adults said they believed they needed $1.25 million to retire comfortably, according to new findings from Northwestern Mutual. High-net-worth individuals – those with more than $1 million in investible assets – believe they’ll need $3 million to retire comfortably.
There’s quite a gap, however, between what people have now and what they think they’ll need. The average amount that U.S. adults have saved for retirement is only $89,300, up 3% from $86,869 in 2022, Northwestern Mutual found.

Interestingly, more than four in 10 Americans (42%) said they could imagine a time when Social Security no longer exists, according to the research. And yet, people are relying on Social Security to provide 28% of their overall retirement funding. That’s more than personal savings (22%) and equal to retirement savings (28%).
Gen Z and millennials have tempered expectations – they anticipate Social Security will provide 15% and 19% of their overall retirement funding, respectively. That’s a significant drop from what boomers+ say – 38%.
