Well it sounds like it’ll work out nicely for the two of you then :)

Cool! Love seeing people tweak spreadsheets! Will poke around for sure – thanks man.

YUP! Semi-retirement is a nice place to be too. And in fact, will probably be where I am for the rest of my life after hitting financial freedom :) I won’t ever stop working, but I’ll stop working on stuff that I hate and/or is just for the money.

My husband wants to retire in his mid-to-late 30s, only because he’s been in the military for so long and it took a great toll on him. I however only want to retire in my late 40s or even early 50s. I would gladly work. My husband says he would gladly stay at home and take care of our children.

With this in mind, I think the number one thing you can do to make sure you have “enough” in retirement is learn to live on less. Once you start driving luxury cars, you get addicted and it’s tough to downsize. Once you’re used to large houses, it becomes difficult to imagine living in a small house. Be proactive and learn to live on less.

People make retiring much more complicated than they need to sometimes. The basic principles of 4% per year or expenses*25 are great methods to work with to decide when to make that leap. If one wants to retire earlier lower the expenses or increase the income.

I’m a long time reader and always appreciate your insights and observations. When you shared this tool earlier this year, it set me on a path to create my own version. It has two tabs, one to track traditional retirement funds (401k, IRA, etc) that can likely not be withdrawn until 59 1/2. The other tab helps plan for that gap between your early retirement / FI date and when you can get out that tax advantaged money. If you have time to check it out and let me know what you think, that’d be great!

Probably after I get done reading all 7 years worth of advice”- Too bad I’m a slow reader.
