With all due respect to adrianc, there are nicer places than Bakewell in the Peak District. Well, I wasn't actually IN town. Unless I was at school, obv. Wouldn't we all...? Nope, Im aiming to live in Clover, where ever that is? Edit South Carolina apparently, (schoolboy snigger at one of the local features)

For me in mid 40s, it roughly worked out at:
£400K in pension pot £100K to get there. House already bought cost £95K.
Missus and I live comfortably on £10Kish a year, and could manage on as little as £6K without too many compromises. It helps that we like countryside type activities, socialising with friends, writing/reading/watching films/surfing the net - all activities that cost little or nothing (especially as we live in said countryside). Income from solar panels covers most of the utilities, and if we had to we could probably rent a room via AirBnB. We don't run a car. Heating comes from free wood.
All that said, I have not actually retired yet. Missus has effectively been retired for the last decade. She does the odd bit of work now and then, but only for fun money. I know others in London who manage on similarly low sums, but they did manage to pay off mortgage with inheritances etc.
