I usually don't see specifics talked about here re: actual $ made, saved up, etc. When I look at my calcs, the number that keeps coming up for me that makes the most sense as realistic and in a timeframe I'm happy with is $1Mil in savings and a paid off home. If I get to that, I'd be reasonably confident it would be sufficient. This would be retiring between 45 and 50 and I'm 34 now. I'm also in a profession that would be fairly easy to work part time or on a consulting basis if I ever had to do so. I live in Canada and don't need to worry about health care either. Is this number in the ballpark of what other younger folks are aiming for down the road?
