I think this is a very subjective topic; no class (lower/middle/upper), gender or philosophy defines the answer.
One thing which can determine the answer might be ASPIRATION, what one person ASPIRE to become may give him/her the answer of what fund he/she can retire with.
For an average middle class person to whom materialistic things are not that important and surviving with average facilities with happiness is important I guess 1L/month should be OK. If one can generate this money without job that can be the right time to retire.
Ways to generate this money:
1. As FD Interest : One need at least 1.5Cr in bank account to generate this kind of interest. Since this method being non appreciating asset or can actually depreciate if interest goes down (which is very likely), one should keep a backlog of 1Cr to support future needs.
2. As Rental Value : If one can generate this money through rental income, it solves lot of future problems. Since Rental value is likely to appreciate with property prices.
I am not considering other mode of generating money, since most of other means will require one's time. And then we are discussing about RETIRING.
P.S. 1L monthly income is considered taking kids education and other dependancies to be handeled seperately.
