Eli should consider all of the following factors when determining how much they’ll need in retirement EXCEPT:
B. The current balance in their checking account---El saldo actual en su cuenta corriente
The current balance in a checking account is generally not a significant factor in determining retirement needs, as it is not indicative of long-term financial stability or future income requirements. The other options (age of retirement, desired lifestyle, and expected Social Security income) are more relevant to planning for retirement.
