Has anyone thought about retiring right now? How much would it take you realistically to feel financially secure enough to do it? Age 55 and ready to be done.

I feel your pain . At least do something I enjoy for less money but has medical benefits. I’m thinking 2.5 M with no mortgage debt . 52 here and hope within 5-7 years after kids all done with college .

Same. I am ready to be done - or at least find something more fulfilling to do. I live in a high cost of living city. I think $10M liquid investments minimum. Very close.

HYSA question: I understand compounding interest and all that, but why do so many people here advise putting a chunk of money in a HYSA that makes 0.5(ish)% APY? If you have 10K to put in an HYSA, I doubt $50 (which is high) means much to you, even compounded assuming you use it in the next 3-5 years

Amex corporate green card or CSR? I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
