A new survey reaffirms an old paradox in retirement planning: American workers think they will need more than $1 million in savings to retire in comfort, but it’s a goal most of them don’t expect to meet. Financial firms often poll American workers on the “magic number” of savings to fund a comfortable retirement. The latest survey comes from Schroders, the global asset management company. Retirement savers surveyed this spring told Schroders they think they will need $1.2 million to retire in comfort.  Yet half of those surveyed said they expect to retire with less than $500,000 saved. One quarter said they expect to save less than $250,000. Only 30% expect to reach the $1 million milestone. “Participants have that million-dollar goal, but many are on a half-million-dollar savings trajectory,” said Deb Boyden, head of U.S. defined contribution at Schroders.
