Review your "magic numbers" and pick a day to quit! Life gets much happier after you do.
I wish I had some "magic numbers" coming up, but unfortunately they all come up long after I intend to retire.
The first one will come up in October 2029, when I hit 59.5, for penalty-free withdrawals from the tax deferred stuff. Guess I can always 72t if I want it early though. Or go into the part of the Roth that I contributed to, if I need to.
The next "magic number" is in 2032, when I turn 62 and am eligible for early SS benefits. It just has to be the year you turn 62, right? And not after you've turned 62? I turn 62 in April 2032.
The final "magic number" is pretty minor. In April 2035, when I turn 65, I'll get $349.21, non-COLA'ed, per month from a small pension. I doubt if that'll be much of anything by then, though.
Right now, I'd say my biggest "magic number" is a floating point. It's when my portfolio hits 33x annual expenses. currently I'm hovering around 20x.
