I would think that $500k savings and owning your own home would be enough. At 10% return you should be able to live on $50k a year.
That 10% is totally bunk though unless you go high risk. Put it this way. If it was relatively safe, you'd mortgage the crap out of your house (at 3% interest) and use it to generate a yearly 7% return.
