The Savage Number

Terri Savage’s book addresses one of retirement planning’s most important questions: how much money is actually enough.

It helps readers assess their expected lifestyle, income sources, expenses, longevity, and investment needs rather than relying on a single universal target.

The book emphasizes practical planning and informed decision-making in the years before and during retirement.

Savage draws on her expertise in personal finance and markets to explain how savings, spending, and investment choices affect retirement security.

Its goal is to replace vague anxiety about retirement with a more concrete and individualized financial benchmark.
