What to Watch Out For

Stewardship Advisory Group has one regulatory disclosure listed on its Form ADV, although it's attributed to an advisory affiliate of the firm.

As mentioned earlier, Stewardship Advisory Group is a fee-based firm, meaning advisors may be registered as insurance agents or broker-dealer representatives. In these roles, they may be able to earn commissions for selling products to clients. While this leads to a potential conflict of interest, the firm's fiduciary duty still requires it to act in clients' best interests, no matter what.

How Long $1mm Lasts in Retirement

Rank City Housing Expenses Food Expenses Healthcare Expenses Utilities Expenses Transportation Expenses

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.
