Summary

Today we are bringing you a mailbag question about retirement benchmarks, you know the ones: You want to aim to have one times your salary by age 30, three times by age 40, six times by age 50, eight times by age 60, and 10 times by the time you retire. These benchmarks are fabulous, but they're also not personal.  Listener Tiffany joins us to ask how pensions, retiring early, and Social Security factor into these benchmarks.  Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here.
