put down the crack pipe. Nothing like someone coming to tigerdroppings bragging that they have 1/2 million in their 401k...only to ask if this is a decent amount. GTFO.

$530k is certainly a nice start. But at a safe withdrawal rate (~4%) that's only $21k annually to live off of. If he triples it by retirement it still only yields $60-65k annually or he risks out living his nest egg. Most Americans are woefully unprepared for retirement so I'd keep aiming for well above average contributions.

Edited to correct math
