1-million-doesnt-cut-it-for-retirement: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

After reading this, I'm not sure if I buy what they think I need. $2-3 million would allow me to retire today. If I ever get to that level, I will pretty much quit and be done with the 'game' at any age.

But I live in an area where $1 million is still something. I don't have a million dollar house, 4 kids, a wife, expensive hobbies, or any of that. I would like to have some of those things, but I still think you could retire with a lot less if you lived a moderately self sufficient lifestyle and do a lot of free things.
