One rule of thumb is to figure you’ll need 70% to 80% of the income you expect to be earning at the time you retire. And you could need that income for a long time. On average, a 65-year-old man in the U.S. has a life expectancy of close to 83 years, and a 65-year-old woman can expect to celebrate her 85th birthday.
