You can't really retire off 1 mill anymore unless you are living well below your means.

I didn’t say I’d retire today, I said I’d retire 10 years earlier than my current trajectory while not changing anything else. I’d keep working and contributing to retirement.

$1M is ~$40k/year. If you have a paid off house, that's pretty reasonable. If you rent, you're going to have a hard time.
