Late 30s couple, two kids. Have about $2.3M invested. I’m thinking $6-7M is the number for a comfortable retirement.

No kids and do not intend to have kids. Probably will live abroad for portions of retirement so goal is $4-5M as a couple, though obvs the number can be much lower if you spend most of your retirement abroad.

43 single income with wife and kids. Have about 2.25 M invested plus 1M in home equity. Hope to get to 5 M and retire.

31M/27F, married, invested assets are $1.58mm. I did biglaw for 6 years and just took an in-house job where comp isn’t significantly less than what I currently make. Hope to retire at 40-45 with $7.5mm

No, I have severe anxiety though and am targeting a 2% withdrawal rate (at about 5mm in today’s dollars). Perhaps over time I’ll chill out and be comfortable with whatever 4mm today is, inflation adjusted.

This, and we plan to have kids in the future.

Plan to retire in Southeast Asia

35, $3.6 million. Hoping to call it a day at 40.

You have 3.6 mil saved at only 35? I have zero. 🙄

34F, single. Currently 1.7 mil invested between brokerage and retirement accounts, about 100k in hys. No kids currently, but would like one in a few years.

Hoping to coast fire around 40. Goal would be over 3 mil invested.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
