Based on this suggestion, you should have 1.1M by 60 years old if you are making 100K annually. Let's exclude all the taxes. If we use 75% as your retirement income compare to your working income, you will need 75K annually. Based on retirement withdraw guideline of 4%, you can get 44K a year. If your SS income is 24K a year, you will have 68K which is 7K short. So save up to 1.3M at 62 and start taking SS, you should be able to retire at 62 with 75% of your working income of 100K.
