There are probably many places in the US where you could retire with 200k, you just wouldn't want to live there.

But beyond that, the US has a baked-in working culture. For any hard-worker, 200k won't be enough. Neither will $1M or $1B. Not saying this is healthy, it's just a part of being american.
