The $1 million goal may not be the right benchmark for everyone. Some workers will need more, and some will require less. Either way, once you start taking out funds from your $1 million 401(k), remember you’ll also owe taxes on those withdrawals.
“$1 million in a tax deferred account, like a workplace 401(k), is really not $1 million because you have not paid taxes on that money yet.
