Here's the twist: almost nobody actually needs that much. That figure is just a survey of what people wish they had, not what it actually takes. Most current retirees are doing just fine on a fraction of it, thanks to Social Security, modest savings, and the simple fact that life doesn't run on a spreadsheet.
