No one can save enough to retire. You need an income. Stock dividends. Property rents. These provide an income without diminishing the equity one has in their investment. Annuities are a guaranteed income partially generated by return on investment and partially by diminishing equity. (Personally, I don't like annuities) But, simply withdrawing funds from savings to live on does not last...

I agree, pension and social security will get you by for a while until inflation catches up to you. property always has value and a good hedge but a good solid 401 should keep you going with your other investments

Actually that kind of cash only supplements for 40 or so years. There must be a pension of some sort providing a baseline income. Otherwise this math works nowhere. Re-evaluate all investment opportunities, build a pension and in some cases look at alternative sources of income. Also keep in mind how challenging it is to save that amount of money. A solid income post retirement that supplements SS is truly a necessity. Good luck to all.
