Having lurked on this board for several years, I am now coming out of the closet and announcing that I gave my employer of 24 years notice that I will retire at the end of August. Using my accrued vacation will let me actually leave at the end of July.
I am 55, my wife is 53, I have a 24 y.o. daughter in grad school and a 20 y.o. son in undergraduate.
We bought a new RV and will travel out west to visit friends and relatives for a month or so after FIRE day. We plan to spend at least half the year touring the back roads and lesser know parks of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. I am working to set up a website to cronicle our travels.
I was going to wait until the end of the year so I could collect my annual bonus - but to hell with the stupid bonus - I am going now! The planets are aligned and I have my numbers!
