Hopefully within two years, to two and a half. Have the money, need the kids off the payroll.

If it helps, I just turned 60 and didn't start saving until my mid 40's. But I have a pension so that helps.

Well, I’m not sure how realistic the goals I had still are. The economy and markets have changed so much. I was hoping to retire by age 65 or even 66.

I really want to retire early, but my plans to retire by 55 have been blown apart by inflation and the economy. I'll be lucky if I can retire by 58 now. But who knows if the goal post will change again between now and then.

Life really has gotten expensive hasn't it? 58 is still early though. Good luck to you!

For the first time in my life, I know what I’m supposed to do at my job, with relationships around me and it’s all because the enormous sense of anxiety I used to experience evaporated during quarantine. I didn’t know that I lived with so much anxiety that it crippled me. I didn’t know I needed this time to myself.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
