Researchers calculated how much money is required to retire and live comfortably in every U.S. metropolitan area based on average annual spending. It turns out that in 28 metros —half of them in California — retirees need nest eggs of at least $1 million, headed by San Francisco ($1.5 million). Seattle is just outside the “millionaires club” but ranks 30th nationally at $995,000. Inflation and taxes figure in the affordability ratings.
