That has no bearing on whether he can retire or not and you know that.

56k and year a million dollars aren't that much if he wants to put his kids through college debt free and, let's say, pay for a wedding. He already said he'd like to travel some as well. On average he should live nearly 40 more years so while he's well ahead of the game, I don't see him really being all that close to retirement.
