Question: how much money do i need to retire nz?
Answer: University studies suggest that a retired couple need $770 per week on a moderate budget. NZ Super is great, but it leaves retirees short at least $170 per week. To cover that gap, you'd need to save up $180,000. To increase your income to $1,000 per week (an extra $400) you'd need to save up $400,000.
