ING "Your Number" Commercials change ?

ING's been running these "your number" (retirement number) commercials for a couple years in my area.

Seems to me they've raised the numbers people carry around in the commercial. Years ago I thought the "numbers" in the commercial were between $500k and $1mil, with an occasional number above $1 mil, and occasional number above $2 mil.

Commercial I just saw had all the numbers above $1mil and several above $2mil.

I always thought their "numbers" were unrealistically low.

IBI (interesting but irrelevant....)

Crap! I retired based on one of their early commercials.
