As for a side job, many retirees won't have a choice. People used to work until they died quite often, it's only been within the past 50 years of increasing life expectancies that people have dreamed of a 20 year retirement.

If that was all you needed, you really COULD survive on considerably less. “Debt is the biggest enemy to retirement.”

Debt is the biggest enemy to retirement. If you have no debt at retirement (especially if you own your home outright), then you don't need much money at ALL to retire. On the other hand, people who are strapped have to work forever (even if they have a lot of money saved). This is a good post.
