Hello again all; still a relatively new guy here just trying to take in all in.
In pondering early retirement, but more importantly getting the heck out of my current job, this question has sometimes occurred to me: Could I trade down to something less stressful, but still making enough to pay the bills, not touch any of my assets so that they keep growing, and still be in a good spot to retire early?
As I indicated in my first introductory post, my wife and I are 53 and -- in a perfect world -- would like to early out around age 55-56. We've got about $700K in assets; my wife will get a pension.
But beyond my personal situation, I'm really just interested in hearing if anyone has pursued this strategy and how it worked out.
Have a great weekend.
