Conventional wisdom suggests that you need $1 million to retire — but for young families planning their retirement years, that nest egg shatters pretty quickly when accounting for inflation, rising lifestyle costs, and the expected (and unexpected) expenses of raising your family.
While retirement is a long-term goal, there are plenty of short-term goals to distract you from saving early. College savings, vacations, home renovations, and even your emergency fund can take precedence over building your retirement savings.
Many families don’t have the time to think about how much they might actually need, and one size fits all retirement advice further muddles how much will work for you.

You can contact a financial planner to help you balance your saving priorities, but financial planners tend to come with limited office hours and a hefty price tag — most charge an hourly rate, or a flat fee per financial plan ranging between $1,000 and $3,000. Not to mention the management fees.
If you think that cost is too high, you are not alone. The folks over at Facet Wealth think it shouldn’t cost so much to get your retirement planning on track.
