Listener Question

I'm 55 years old and currently employed with $1.1 million in 401k, $150,000.00 in annuity fund.  Upon retiring I will also have a pension with medical, dental & optical coverage.  My yearly income is $120,000 & I’m looking to retire at 60 years old.  In your opinions does retiring comfortably in 5 years look reasonable?
