High Amount You Need in Utah to Retire Comfortably in 2025

There's no pretty word in the english language than "retirement."

It was coined in the 15th century by a guy who had had it up to here with expense reports.

In Utah, in order to retire 'comfortably', as they put it, you apparently need to have $71,453 dollars annually until you expire.

Here's how CNBC did the math for Utahns: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

Utah

• Total expenditures: $59,544
• 20% comfort buffer: $11,909
• Cost of a comfortable retirement annually: $71,453

So let's say you retire at 65 and you live until you're 85. $71K multiplied by 20 years equals $1.42 million dollars.

What is this a joke? That's how much you need to retire? Who's retiring?

Here's some more of what they say: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

"Housing is the biggest differentiator in the cost of living in each state. In Hawaii, a combination of high demand and limited space for homes has led to some of the highest housing costs in the country.

"In Mississippi — like many other rural states — home prices and property taxes are among the lowest in the U.S., which helps keep retirement costs down."

So basically, move to Mississippi or Haiti.

Live your life here for as long as you can still play pickleball, and then set sail for a banana republic where they will make you king. You live out your last days being entertained by fire eaters and eating the fat of the lamb (literally). Because if you want to retire fully in the good old US of A you need to be a millionaire and I just don't know how you get there unless you hit it big on YouTube.
