I figgured out that I need about $2M after taxes to retire for good.
Enogh to buy a decent house in New Mexico, and stuff the rest into the
appropriate investments, like tax-free munies and the like.  (5% on $1M is
$50K a year, tax-free.  If my house were paid for, that would more than
enough to live on.)  But, I won't turn down $20M post-taxes, either. :-)
