I can tell you we have a nice healthy monthly income from pensions, ss, and a small VA disability payment that allows us to more then meet our monthly expenses, have fun and often end up with an addition $1000. a month. Have a nice nest egg we only touch when something special is needed or wanted. And we have a mortgage and a car payment which is not a problem for us. We are blessed indeed to both have stayed with very stable companies that should come through with that pension without a problem till the day we die. And what you need is totally dependent on how you choose to live not by what other people have or don't have - it's such an individual thing.
