The median amount in retirement accounts for Americans within 10 years of retirement is less than $120,000, according to Webb, an amount that would provide a monthly income of only $400 a month. The average Social Security retirement benefit at the start of 2014 was only $1,249 a month, or less than $15,000 a year.
Based on a 4% safe withdrawal rate, the median retireeâs non-Social Security/pension income is $8,420 per year. Supposedly, according to SAFEMAX (and SAFEMIN), assets are designed to cover 50% of your expenses; therefore, the average retiree is spending $16,840 per year. That seems quite low to me.
