I am 49 and $200K away from my Fire goal of $2M investments. I just needed to celebrate that a little bit. It’s scary but oh so exciting that I may only have one more year of work ahead. Wish I could find a good challenging and fulfilling P/T role so I could do a ramp down instead of plan for a full stop. Are those roles even available?

Congrats! Question about your FIRE goal of 2M what percent is allocated in 401k. My understanding is there’s a 10% tax on early withdrawal so assuming you have other avenues to pull your money out.

Thank you. It’s just under 30% in my 401K. Yes Roth conversion is likely part of the plan.

Question - do you own your own residence/planning to live in a LCOL country? If so, what are annual housing-related expenses? Asking because I would also like to retire soon but still debating how much is enough.

Makes sense. I’d ideally like to work a few more years make more for the nest egg, but I’m getting burnt out and need a long break. I think it’s likely I’ll do a clean break and then go do something else P/T a few months after.

I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
