I talked with my wife about the idea of retiring at age 40, or 50. I didn't mention here that my job, while stressful at times, has me working rarely over 30 hours a week, with 7 weeks of vacation time a year. I think it's a pace I could keep up for a long time.

Just what is this dream job that pays $316k a year for 1.5 years experience, only works 30 hr/wk, gives 7 weeks vacation a year, is not too stressful, not on Wall Street, and is fairly secure? Doesn't sound like any small business or well-paid profession (law, medicine, engineering, big-5 accounting) that I'm familiar with.
Regardless, if you want to maintain the $18k/mo lifestyle to which you've grown accustomed, you will need to sock away about $5.4 million dollars for retirement. Are you on track?
