Using such an annual income, apply that to your situation and start doiing a lot of math...meet with a CPA...and then think about it for a few years. You don't want to be broke at 70.

That's actually spot-on advice in my book. I see people saying they have goals of retiring at 45 w/ $1 million. I hope they're talking about a million of future dollars, not a million dollars right now...
