What is the average amount to retire on?

on average, what can Mr and Mrs middle-class expect to retire on and live out their days comfortably?

Say I work till 60 odd, mortgage paid, savings, company pension etc. What should we be striving for?

Figure I might as well stick to plan A and buy some properties to rent, building them up to retirement. Im 38 so need to think about my long term retirement strategy. I work overseas so maybe earn a bit more than average but I was just wondering how people do it who work 9-5, 2 kids, usual mortgage and moderate income. Maybe get some tips on the basics and modify my approach accordingly.
