You don’t need millions to retire

What do financially successful people do differently?

Some global research that found that beyond a certain wealth level, people's happiness tended to decrease.

So what kind of number would an everyday Kiwi what could bring them a nice retirement?

You do not need a million to have a happy retirement. In New Zealand there's a very basic rule that is that for every $100,000 you have at retirement you can spend a hundred dollars a week. So if you retire with $100,000, you can spend $100 a week. This is if you ret.

So let's say someone's earned $100. What percentage roughly should we be putting away for long term Investing?

You know, 5 or 10% is good, but there are people out there who save too much, most notably women, in particular single women. They're actually saving too much and not spending enough money on, you know, travel or parties or whatever.

They're actually losing out on living life.

Yes.
