No , you only THINK you hate your job.

How about a few more details ?

Early out or risk ending up like Ted in the Dilbert cartoon:
Dilbert comic strip for 11/11/2014 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive.
He died the day after he retired. Ratbert congratulates the boss for working him to death in a timely manner. The pointy haired boss responds that if he is being honest the timing was just luck.

Most people here won't cheer you on with only 80% but you've not provided any details on what you entered. How many years did you put in? Did you include SS and any pensions? Did you include the cost of medical care pre-Medicare? Can you reduce expenses?Fact is that I have enough resources for a small modest retirement, won’t be able to buy lots of toys but can make ends meat according to a 80% chance with FireCalc is that high enough? I am just having allot of mixed feelings. Seems many here are younger, don’t know exactly what qualifies as “EARLY” Retirement, as I am 56 going on 57, which according to many of the financial news sites is “early” as they seem to be saying people are working till 65-67 now. When I was a kid the life expectancy for a male was 72!

My plan involved trimming my budget while still working - which helped me figure out what I could reduce with little impact on lifestyle. Amazing how little things like cancelling/reducing the cable bill, switching the landline to magic jack, switching the cells from verizon to ting.... The bonus of doing this while still working is all good since any cost savings got diverted to nest egg investments.
