You’re in the top 1% US boomers if you can shout ‘no’ to these 3 questions — how bulletproof is your nest egg?

If you're a baby boomer in the top 1% of wealth, you'll need a net worth of around $17.87 million, according to DQYDJ's analysis of Federal Reserve data. However, for the top 10%, the threshold drops to just $3 million. It's worth noting that most Americans believe they need $1.46 million to retire comfortably, according to Northwestern Mutual.

Regardless of your net worth, avoiding debt is key to a comfortable retirement. Baby boomers carry an average of $191,650 in mortgage debt and $25,812 in nonmortgage debt. Reducing this debt burden can significantly improve your retirement finances. Additionally, being relatively healthy without chronic conditions can help you avoid significant medical debt, which affects 44% of seniors between 50 and 64, according to KFF data.

Long-term care insurance can also protect your retirement savings from the costs of assisted living or nursing homes.
