I just want to retire

Looking for a new apartment? Search no more! Available in August is my huge(1600 ft) 2 bed/2 bath condo in River West, just off of Milwaukee close to the Chicago Blue Line stop. Get the best of both worlds being close to Fulton Market & downtown and still being able to see bunnies hopping around the neighborhood.
If interested, send me a DM or Zillow message.

My goalposts keep moving after we hit them….We’ve been financially ready to retire for over a decade but can’t seem to get off the gerbil wheel. Retirement is way more about things that have nothing to do with money. E.g. having something to do (because your job meant having no outside of work hobbies), having your self worth tied up nearly completely in your identity at work, the social capital that comes from your work title, etc. retiring is hard.
Mine is probably around 5M at 60. I would be fine with less but have no plan to work past 60. So really it is probably more accurate to say retire at 60 with whatever I have.
I plan to reevaluate at $10mm, $15mm, $25mm and, if I get there, $100mm. No plan to retire at a set age, I’ll keep doing it as long as I’m enjoying it.
Edit: Currently in early 30s and expect to hit the $10mm mark at ~37.
