We were hoping to retire in 2 years but with 4 school-aged kids still at home (two of which will be headed to college in the next 2-3 years), we decided to continue w*rking for another 5 years. Better to be safe than sorry. We won't fund our kids entire education, but hope to help them with their Bachelor's degree.

Still working, but my current plan will have me retiring when DD is heading into high school. DW may or may not be working at that point.
But, college $ are set aside. HS years should be relatively cheap. I won't need to buy DD a car. If she needs to go some place, she can use my car. It's not like I'll need it to go to work.

RE'd July 2015 with 2 @ home. DD is a HS sr and headed to school next fall back east. DS is one year behind her.
DW and I made sure we had 2x (4 yrs private college) covered via UTMA and 529s before I bailed.
We will fund them 100% through undergrad (tuition, books, room and board, travel to/from home) .. but beer and Spring break $$ is on them .. as is grad school. Seems a fair trade for us.
