The latest "how much" figure is still scary but I have an update on the answer, from the March and April editions of Money magazine.
the latest “how much”
How’s the pineapple growing? (1)
In any project, you need a baseline. You need to be able to clearly look back and see how much the pineapple has grown (hopefully) or the enthusiasm might dwindle a bit.

when and how much?
So I guess the first question is, when can I hope to retire (not want, cause you know, tomorrow is good for me) and the second question is, of course, how much will I need.
what I’m not doing
