    I amassed a certain amount and I retired fully at 40. I don't have a ton, but enough to work with. Now at 51 I have seen the world and looking to downsize my house to a smaller townhouse or condo and enjoy what is left :) I roughly looked at my numbers but I handle my own finances and have done pretty okay. So not stressing about it too much. It is what is it :) . I don't have a pension, just some savings, a property and wherever SS ends up giving me

    From experience, the hardest part of building up the million is the first 100k. Once you get to the first 100k, each subsequent 100k is much easier and faster because of the compounding effect. The way I got to the 100k was to break it up into 5 years and set myself a goal to save 20k each year. To many even that may be difficult, but it is doable if you are on a reasonable income and are willing to cut back on luxuries for five years.

    The 375 ignores the state pension, so you need less. Also factor for a 25% drop in expenses after 75. So this reduces what you need to save. How much do you need to pass on to children, if not much then you can eat into the capital and so reducing the amount needed to save. A good message that you need to save and in the most tax efficient way. But the figures quoted are excessive in my opinion. He is a finance person who will make a percentage on what you save so it's in his interest to get you to save more. I'm not saying don't save well into a pension but look deeper into this field to get a more realistic figure

    Just to be clear...Social Security isn't taxed at an 85% tax rate. Depending on the income calculation up to 85% of your Social Security benefit may be taxable. The tax rate you actually pay would be based on wherever you fall on the current progressive tax scheme. Nobody pays an 85% tax rate in the current scheme.

    A simple way to figure out how much you need is to use the 4% Rule where you figure out your annual expenses and multiply that by 25. So if your annual expenses are $30k and you multiply that by 25, you get $750k where you can withdraw 4% of that each and every year pretty much to eternity (though it was originally made for a 30 year retirement). Just lower your annual expenses and be flexible, then you can retire much earlier and truly design your life.

    If I want to withdraw £50,000 a year from my retirement savings, and that's 4% of my total savings, I can use a multiplier instead of dividing. The reciprocal of 4% is 25 (1 / 0.04 = 25). So, £50,000 times 25 equals £1,250,000. I think he calls it a rule of thumb, the 'Rule of 375', for monthly withdrawals. It's simple and considers a rough 20% tax, which is practical since I think about spending after taxes.

    The world in which the 4% rule was working, does not exist anymore. Central banks money creation and Gov spending have led to an unstable financial system. Money creation (debt) is going exponentially, impossible to sustain. Gaining scarce assets is the only way to secure some sort of retirement income, but even that is no certainty. Better is to prepare to live on less, minimize your lifestyle needs. Happiness does not need to cost a lot.
