Hi all. I resigned and declared myself FIRE'd since June of this year. DW and I may decide we want to do something part time. However, I never wanted to quit until I knew that w*rk was optional for both of us. I also don't want to plan on needing social security. An advisor, Firecalc, and my own study indicates we should be ok. However, I can't get the little voice of concern out of the back of my mind. Are we ok if I assume worst case of neither of us making any income?
The Current Facts:
I am 42 (DW is much more beautiful, graceful, and slightly more 'mature')
No Kids
Currently renting so no home (looking for one around $300k or below though)
No debt
Current typical spend runs about $50k / year but probably need to add another $18k for taxes, the occassional "big ticket item", deductible or other surprise. Let's figure $68,000 per year out of pocket spending
$2,170,000 Assets broken Down as Follows:
$867,000 Non-Retirement Mutual Funds and stocks
$830,000 Retirement Mutual Funds
$103,000 LS value of Pension from old employer (probably will roll this into an IRA)
$370,000 Cash (Probably will use some for future house)
Thanks for any insights.
