💵 How Long Will $1 Million Last in Retirement?

Amassing $1 million in retirement savings has long been a significant milestone. But based on where you live, that money may last 12 years – or 89.

That’s according to data from GOBankingRates, which Visual Capitalist put in a graphic and in a sortable table.

The same $1 million, plus Social Security, can last for 77 more years in West Virginia than it will in Hawaii.

Here are the five states where your money will evaporate the fastest:

  1. Hawaii: 12 years

  2. California: 16 years

  3. Massachusetts: 19 years

  4. Washington: 22 years

  5. New Jersey: 24 years

And here are the five states where your money will last the longest:

  1. West Virginia: 89 years

  2. Mississippi: 87 years

  3. Louisiana: 77 years

  4. Arkansas: 77 years

  5. Oklahoma: 71 years

The data also suggests that $1 million plus Social Security is enough at present to fund at least 30 years of retirement in 36 of the 50 states.
