They say not to count only on SS for your living expenses. We are doing just fine with less than half of that amount. We didn't spend a lot of money on new things, we just live our lives and take vacations like we usually do. It can be done if you don't spend crazy money on things you don't need.

It's not very difficult if you have social security and worked your whole life. <br>If you want to retire before FRA then probably not. <br>I am less than half of FRA and I have more than that in liquidity alone already.

No one in America can retire on $500k. It is impossible if you are not continuing to work until age 75.
