I think your numbers are reasonable, and at 37, and hope I will be where you are in my 50s.
There are two things that money can`t buy: Time and health. If you have both, you are a wealthy man. My personal goal is to be making over $150k/yr before I retire, without sacrifying health and time with my family. And I don`t feel I`ll ever need a $50k toy. I also feel I`d keep doing some part time work, like consulting, or going in a lab do some experimental work once or twice a week.
