This is the newly published estimation for retirement spending v.s. quality of life.

Tell me what your thoughts are and if you have a good plan in place at all?

We moved between countries a few times and therefore didn't start saving until fairly late (mid-30s). Really worry now if we have enough time to save for retirement, especially I've been SAHM for a while after second was born.

I have just seen this in a search!
why no replies!
I do not get the figures though. How do you extract £54K from 530k - that’s 10% interest rate, unless they are factoring in 10k each in state pensions too.

I am not going to presume to get or at least take more than 3% going forward
