I'm 35 with $8 million in liquid assets and $2 million in a Roth - should I stop contributing to my 401(k)?
Briefly

If I knew for a fact that the poster in this scenario wanted to retire at a traditional age - say, sometime in their 60s - I'd say they're probably okay to stop saving altogether at this point. With that much money by age 35, they can probably sit back and let their investments compound. And as long as they don't touch that money, they should have a boatload of a nest egg to fall back on.
But $8 million means something different in the context of retiring at age 38 or 42 or 46. It's still a lot of money, but there's a difference between stretching a large nest egg 30 years versus 40 or close to 50. So for someone with $8 million by age 35 who's looking to retire at 40, I'd say yes, maybe keep putting money into that 401(k) so you can leave your career at a very young age with less stress.
