Exactly. So like I said above, but reframed, if you can't retire after earning a quarter mil per year, it's a YOU problem. Lower your expectations.

For me, it was - no kids, either staying in Connecticut or moving to an adobe home near Albuquerque, having enough money that I didn't have to wonder which I had to give up: a new roof or a hip replacement.

But you weren't making a quarter mil (assumption based on comments you have made publicly) so that argument is irrelevant to my point.
