Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Also, I didn't see any info on how your money is invested.
FIRECalc default is a 75/25 allocation between stocks and fixed income. Most here would recommend you use a no-load, low-fee, broad market index fund for each of those. VTI and BND are examples.
The exact % mix isn't so important, survival rates are pretty similar between ~ 35/65 and 95/5. I prefer to stay towards the middle of that range. If you are close to something like that, that's fine.
If you are paying an advisor, and getting hit with a 1% fee (and likely put into funds with higher expenses), then you'll need a lot more to retire. To get the same 3% withdrawal for you ($60K/year, 3% of $2M), and a 1% for the advisor means you need enough for you ($60K) plus that 1% for the FA ($20K). Instead of $2M, you'd need $2.67M. That's a lot of work (for you!) to come up with an extra $670,000 dollars.
