Poll:
At what amount in the bank, would you even consider retiring?
I guess 2cr doesn't get you shit in metro cities these days. So what's your number, realistically. 4 cr, 5 cr, 7.5 cr($1mill) or you wouldn't think of retiring untill 60, irrespective of your bank balance?
I know there will be a lot of variables, like dependants etc. but I'm trying to gauge what the range is for most people.

For me 2.5 Cr in today's date in fine. It would be around 23 Cr after adjusting inflation by the time I will retire.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
