    You forgot inflation. If you are happy with 40k today that could be 80k by the time you retire and likely will be over 150k by the time you die.

      These calculations are all inflation adjusted. If you are happy on 20k per year, the 4% rule allows you to withdrawl 20k inflation adjusted from your investments per year basically indefinitely.
