Hi All,
Found this spectacular site a couple nights ago and have been like an addict reading. Some really great people and information. I am 36 with my long-term (for life) girlfriend being 47. We are very lucky to be well on our way to FIRE. Of course, we are accumulating as much as possible. Currently, own a business that has some great income due to the housing market being so strong. Of course, that can change if and when a downturn happens.
As of now:
Income (combined) - 800k
401k (mine) - 250k
401k (hers) - 40k
Stocks - 125k
Cash - 25k
No Debt
Investment Property - no mortgage (175k)
I also have a whole life insurance policy that will stop being funded at 50. I plan on taking loans out (80k a year) when around 65 (tax deferred). I know some are against these policies. I am currently maxing out 401k at 53k a year and saving in taxable accounts also. I felt the whole life would be a good way to diversify. Biggest concern is making it from 50-65. Once 65, with SS and the whole life, we should be in really great shape.
The goal is to retire at 50 or sooner (girlfriend 61). Looking at having 3 million in the portfolio including investment properties.
I am sure my thoughts on many things could change the more I read and learn from everyone's experiences. Thanks in advance!
