Due to inflation the best bet would be 5 million. prices rise a lot and what might seem a lot the day you would retire, might seem measly a few years later. Remember when a millionare use to be such a prestige thing. And a few years later there are so many millionare's we moved onto billionares. Go with 5 million or more.

For retiring at 40, I'd go with the $5 million. It might seem like a lot, but if you live to be 70 years old, then that money will have to last for 30 years.

Do you want to live well or just get by? 5 million sounds like a lot but its not much if you take into account what a dollar will buy you in forty years. Look at recent history: A gallon of gas was $1.12 in 1996 and more than $3.00 now. A loaf of bread was 86 cent in 1996 and about $2 now... Its easy to imagine $12 a gallon for gas or $8 for a loaf of bread in 20 years!
check out the retirement calculator below. It should help

Let me share my idea with you!
When you are not affordable to get whatever you want, it is a proof that you are financially insecure. 1 million is enough for retirement, but can we get them easily??? For better retirement planning, go for the internet business, which requires less of your time and the one that will not make you feel headache with web designing, or which require IT knowledge. Second, choose the internet based company which offer you the opportunity and at the same time giving you the convenience to start the business. Third, choose the business, which does not require big money to start it.
All the above is only available from: http://www.website.ws/powercontrol
Honestly, I tried so many opportunities offered through the internet and this is the only one that really works.
PLEASE NOTE: You only will understand the whole marketing concept if you read every details & the trial period is FREE!
Remember, You CAN'T guarantee whether you will get many fish or not by spreading your net into the sea, but u CAN guarantee that there is no fish at all if you never spread your net into the sea.

When do you plan on retiring? What do you anticipate your spending needs to be when you retire? How are you investing that money? Not enough information here although you'd probably be pretty well off with $5 million. $1 million might not cut it.

If you were 40 years old today, retired, expected to live to 80 and wanted an upper middle class lifestyle, you could probably swing it on a little bit over $2M. This assumes you maybe need to make house payments, but you don't need to put any kids through college.
