Not the tradiitonal concept of retirement. How much would you need to make per year when you have financial security?

Experts recommend having savings of at least 8-10 times your annual income before retiring, and aiming to replace 70-80% of your pre-retirement income in retirement.

It differs based on the expense of living in the place you settle. But I remember people saying to save as much as possible that you can live on it, at least for 40 years post retirement.
This was the first time I encountered the importance of keeping track of my retirement savings in 2023, because I had previously been convinced that this was an automated area. But as it turned out, even here there could be a mistake, because my pension was counted incorrectly.

Well, it very much depends on where you live, what type of life do you want and many more factors.
For example in India, you would need around Rs.30-40 lacs per year to live a luxurious life with total financial freedom.
Hard to say a specific amount
It's generally recommended that you save enough to replace at least 70% of your pre-retirement income in order to maintain a similar standard of living.
When I retired, I found that having a yearly income that covers all my living expenses plus a little extra for leisure and emergencies was key to feeling financially secure. For me, this amount was roughly $40,000 a year, considering my lifestyle and the cost of living in my area. Achieving this required a mix of savings, investments, and a bit of creative financial planning, including converting a portion of my retirement savings into a Precious Metals IRA. I decided on this conversion because I wanted to diversify my portfolio and hedge against inflation. The process was smooth, but it was crucial to understand the tax implications, which I learned through https://smartmoneyverified.com/. They highlighted that transfers from traditional to precious metals IRAs could be taxable events, but Roth IRA transfers are generally not taxable, offering a strategic way to manage my retirement funds efficiently.
