Retirement calculator: Are you saving enough?
The word "retirement" means different things to different people. For you, it could mean a future with your child's education paid for, a nest egg that allows you to decide whether or not you continue working (PDF), or having the financial means to take care of your family. For others, it might mean starting a business, or starting part-time work in a field unrelated to their career that interests them. It all leads to the same questions: How do I calculate how much I need to retire, and will my money last through retirement?
