Hi all, after lurking around a bit on the forum figured out it was time to intro myself. Have been taking major steps over past 18 months to RE from megacorp at end of 2018. 1) move from HCOL state (MN) to Lower COL area “back East” with mild and short winters, good fishing and fresh seafood. 2) downsized to fixer-upper on a lake with ample equity from sale of prior house to fund major improvements - no mortgage. 3) secured ability to work 100% remotely after the move. 4) Played cards right during leadership transition at work to land a nice RIF package with payout in 2019. 5) And before all that lived a reasonably frugal life to pack away and grow investments to enable DW and myself to RE at end of the year (and put our now freshman son through college)
Expect to be busy for a year or so renovating the house, then onto camping, touring, fishing, etc. Starting to kick around volunteer opportunities- plan to network with retired peers to figure that out. Not a big spender yet live a comfortable lifestyle. Cheers!!
