Insurer and mutual fund company Northwestern Mutual reports that Americans, on average, believe $1.46 million is the magic number. That figure sounds about right, too. If you apply the 4% rule for withdrawals from a retirement fund, such a nest egg would provide roughly $60,000 worth of income the first year it was tapped. a figure that would then grow with inflation in future years.
