My widow mother lives alone on less than $30K. I do not know the exact number, because I no longer do taxes for her, and my brother has taken over. However, she owns a home worth $300K, and has no debt. She just paid $15K cash for a 1-year-old car from Hertz sales. The home is her largest asset, and she never had anywhere close to $750K in investable assets.
However, my parents did not retire early, and both had small pensions in addition to their SS.
