A thread in another post asked if $3.1MM was enough to retire.
I can't imagine ever having that much money (even if I worked to 100) and can't imagine how that couldn't be enough.
Since I'm single and have no dependents, I doubt I'll ever be able to spend what I'll accumulate by 65 and, by then, (free) time left is more important to me than all the money in the world. It would be nice to leave some to a veterans' organization or children's hospital (my brothers don't need it and they'll end up leaving MY money to THEIR dependents), but I just don't think it's worth another 1-5 years of waking at sun-up and coming home after sunset, 5 days a week.
Most folks worry about outliving their money. I'm just hoping for a draw!
