Pathway Capital Management is a fee-only firm managing money for institutional clients. It is not a money manager for individuals and has no individual clients on its books. If you are looking for a financial advisor for your personal portfolio, consider finding one with SmartAsset’s free financial advisor matching service.

As a fee-only firm, Pathway Capital earns all of its compensation from client-paid fees. A fee-based firm, on the other hand, earns compensation from both client fees and third-party compensation, like securities commissions.

Methodology We analyzed data on average expenditures for seniors, cost of living and investment returns to determine how many years of retirement a $1 million nest egg would cover in cities across America.

First, we looked at data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on the average annual expenditures of seniors. We then applied cost of living data from the Council for Community and Economic Research to adjust those national average spending levels based on the costs of each expense category (housing, food, healthcare, utilities, transportation and other) in each city. Using this data, SmartAsset calculated the average cost of living for retirees in the largest U.S. cities.

We assumed the $1 million would grow at a real return (interest minus inflation) of 2%. Then, we divided $1 million by the sum of each of those annual numbers to determine how long $1 million would cover retirement expenses in each of the cities in our study. Cities where $1 million lasted the longest ranked the highest in the study.
