How much in savings would you need to comfortably retire?

Asked by Aster (20023points) June 3rd, 2013

The average stay in nursing homes is two years, I believe. Knowing this and thinking you’ll live to about eighty, how much in savings do you think you’ll need to not have to concern yourself with daily expenses? I think 225K would be enough in stocks and cash. Some of that you could gain from selling your home.
