Good afternoon, I am considering retiring at the age of 55 with a savings of 300,000. Could you please advise me on whether this is a feasible option? I am aware that the financial situation and the market can be volatile, but based on the current situation, do I have enough savings to sustain my lifestyle comfortably until the end of my life? Additionally, could you suggest any investment strategies or plans that could help me maximize my savings and ensure a secure retirement? Thank you for your time and assistance.

On average, an individual in a comfortable retirement spends approximately £43,100 per year. This figure takes into account various expenses such as housing, healthcare, transportation, and leisure activities.

If we consider a couple retiring at the same age with the same amount of savings, the average annual expenditure rises to £59,000. This increase is due to the combined expenses of both individuals as well as potential additional costs related to joint activities.

Now, let's analyze the impact of these expenses on the £300,000 savings. If an individual retires with this amount, their funds will last approximately 7 years, assuming an annual expenditure of £43,100. This calculation assumes that no additional income sources are available.

Similarly, for a couple retiring with £300,000, their funds would last approximately 5 years, given an annual expenditure of £59,000. This shorter duration highlights the importance of proper financial planning for couples approaching retirement.
