I expect me and my wife to have a burn rate of about $100,000/ year when we retire until be loss mobility. Not working is expensive, traveling more, more clubs or sports.... going to movies.

So if I we 60 about $2 million is cash would be about right and I would hope to have about $1 M in property assets to start liquidating in my 80s.

But right now in my 30`s it would probably need to 4 -5 million to avoid the risk of returning to work. A little bit less per year might be OK because extra interest might slow the burn rate early on.

Also as some have said, full retirement could get a little boring while the kids are in school and I am less mobile, I would certainly need to find a fun income generating project for the next 10 - 15 years.
