So 1 million in today’s dollars with today’s social programs and a paid off house is enough to retire comfortably.
If your retirement is staying home, or the odd dinner out maybe. If you want to enjoy your retirement, if you want a trip or two a year, it's really not. It's not now, in 20 years it won't be close.

A lot of people are planning for really miserable retirements and then they'll die quicker because they're literally bored to death.
