Something arty to fill in the time. Painting, sculpture and photography.
No big plans except living long enough to see my grandkids grow up and maybe some travel.

The amounts "required" in this thread are staggering. You'd think $1,000,000 would be enough. Maybe it was 20 years ago.

I think we would be fine living largely on the interest from $1,000,000 come retirement time. Paid off cars, paid off house (by then), pretty cheap lifestyle. I could easily see us downsizing in house as well. Of course the goal is more, but we live a pretty simple life.
