Yahoo! has an article on How to Retire with One Million Dollars.

It seems to me that they're complicating the process unnecessarily. As I see it, there are only two steps to retiring with one million dollars:

1. Get one million dollars.

2. Retire.

 

Au contraire, must specify that it's one million dollars after taxes.

 

That's understood.

Try to keep up.

 

I thought the general rule to retire as a millionaire was to start with multi-millions....

Preferably through inheritance.

 

My government teacher in highschool showed us one of these: how to become a millionaire slowly.

But it was only like $20/month starting at 18.

 

which by the way works just fine.

 

can't... tell... if... serious...

 

One million dollars will NOT be enough for a 25-year old to retire on, assuming they want to live comfortably...

 

Well, not at 3% average inflation over 45 years and if he doesn't want to live in the @ss end of America's backwoods.

 

you mean 65? 25 is a bit young to be retiring.

may be enough if
1. social security is kicking in a couple thousands a month (assuming retiree contributed his whole working life)
2. he paid of his house.
3. he doesn't spend like crazy. "comfortably" varies depends on a person's definition.
