I think I'm a little too young to have specific totals - too much can change between now and my retirement that would affect what number I need to get to. I will say that your number is probably quite high for what I'd think most people can achieve. A retirement income of $125K without depleting any principle seems almost excessive and unrealistic for most.
Bonus question: Rich/wealthy to me is not at all about how much money or net worth you have. It's all about how easy it is to spend when you need to spend. I would consider myself wealthy in the sense that I don't really worry much about where the money is going to come from to pay for a vacation, a new kitchen appliance, a major car repair, etc. That doesn't mean I'm spending a ton of money on these things - I'll work to live within my means. But for me, having very little financial stress = rich.
