The Association of Super Funds Australia has a higher estimate, stating that singles require $545,000 and couples $640,000.
ASFA states that a comfortable retirement means being able afford private health insurance, TV streaming services, reliable cars, regular trips to the cinema, professional haircuts, and home repairs.
The data showed that retirees with at most $545,000 in savings could enjoy one domestic trip each year and one overseas trip every seven.
Comparatively, a retiree who can only afford a modest retirement with $70,000 savings can expect to take one domestic trip per year and a few short breaks.
A modest retirement means frequent trips to the cinema and take-out, a small budget for home repairs, and a less expensive and older car.
