It will totally depend on her, and what she thinks is enough.

I have friends that don't want to live in a big fancy house. They have lived in the same 1,000 sq ft house for 40 years. It has been paid for for decades. They both retired at age 45 and drive old cars.They take a few modest vacations and are happy.

I have other friends that live in a very exclusive gated community and pay more for their neighborhood association dues than most folks pay for a house. They stay at the expensive hotels and take a lot of vacations. They both work long hard hours to make the money to do that.

30 years ago if you told me I would make what I do now I would think I was rich. It is nice to not worry at all about bills. I buy toys and take fun vacations. I don't have a second house at the lake or in some resort town. I don't have a new 911 or a boat. I don't play golf and I don't waste money gambling. I have no debt and enjoy eating out a lot. If I won a lottery for 50K I would just add it in my mutual fund for retirement.
