Hi all,
I am laid off from my job - it was a sales management gig and the company closed that division. I am totally burnt out from the sales game!
Wanted to get some feedback on whether it would be reasonable to retire or semi retire.
I am 42/wife 44 - 3 kids aged 12, 10 and 8
Assets 720k index funds, House 300k paid for
Income: Unemployment insurance for 9 months of $2000/month
Wifes part time income varies $600-$1200/month
Monthly kids subsidies $400 - these go up as high as $1200 if our income drops to 30k a year ( We are in Canada )
At age 65 we "should get" a gov pension of about 15k-20k total indexed to inflation
Our monthly budget works out to about $2850 - including a misc $250 just because amount
