Action plan

Tactical tweaks to close any gap and keep your retirement glidepath on track.

Boost savings by roughly $3,225.51 per month or extend retirement by about 19 years to close the gap.
Automatic 2% raises to savings add $71,709.06 more capital by retirement.
Your 2.5% inflation assumption turns today's $4,000.00 goal into $7,415.78 at retirement.

Retirement readiness checklist

Use these reminders to stress-test your plan beyond the base projection.

Review asset allocation every 12-18 months to ensure the return assumption stays realistic.
Plan for big-ticket expenses (college, caring for parents) separately so they don't erode the retirement fund.
Three to five years out, transition part of the portfolio into lower-volatility assets to protect accumulated gains.
