Well, I did it. I retired.

Savings $2.3 million, NW $3.4 million, annual spend less than $80k. In a HCOL area but bought our home when prices were reasonable. Partner and I are both early 40s, no kids. Plan to workout, ride my bike, play tennis, travel, read, and cook. I’m realizing in my 40s I need to find more non-active hobbies because I get worn out. Trying to shake the anxiety I feel from work. It’s crazy that it doesn’t just go away.
