Hi,
I've already posted this over on the other forum, so forgive me if you've seen it before!
I guess I'm not exactly an early retirement candidate, since I'm 62 and still working, but I'd like to run my numbers by some members and see if my logic makes sense. I'm an obsessive number cruncher and have a cash flow plan going out 40+ years! The calculators say I'm ok, but I'm nervous!
I'm 62 and my wife is 48. I assume we'll both live to 92.
I'm still working making $90K, maxing out a 401k and IRAs before and after tax.
Target retirement is age 64. Soc. Sec. should be $20K/year.
We own a rental house, market value $650,000, no mortgage, $2100/mo. rent. I usually raise the rent by inflation annually.
Personal residence has a $125K balance, 12 years to pay off. Market value $500k.
Target expenditure level after retirement $65k/yr, which includes a generous amount of travel and leisure expenses.
Investments in retirement accounts: $450k. 60% index funds, 40% bonds.
Investements in taxable accounts: $225k, same split. with muni bonds.
Using a rate of return of 5%, 3% inflation, everything seems to continue to grow with the $65k expense level. I've factored in replacing cars every 10 years.
Any comments? I'd appreciate feedback.
Thanks,
Rick
