I'm thinking there's a variable definition of "retirement" being used here. Unless you 40-ish retirees amassed $2M+ in your short working life (or inherited it), congratulations. Perhaps you married well? The rest of you aren't really "retired", or your full of *****.

At 48 with a total net worth under $1M, with 3 kids to put through school and a stay-at-home wife, retirement is a long way off. With (hopefully) 35 years more to live, I'm about $3M in net worth away from THINKING about retirement. Again, you 40 year-old retirees...please, share with us HOW you did it (truth), and how you define "retirement".
