The magic number for retirement....

Lindy,
In 1999, your sharing of your personal experience was valuable for me and others. For the first time, it jiggered my thoughts of what one should have for "a magic number" to insure a stable retirement.

Obviously, each person's magic number will vary with expectations, prior income, blah, blah, blah.

My question to you: Looking back, did you calculate an accurate magic number? If so, why? If not, what would you advise the rest of us who haven't yet tried retirement on how to better determine the "magic number"?
