Greetings, all. It's been a couple yrs more or less since I last posted, and much has changed. I was planning my RE for early 2016 (sometime in first qtr). Yet I dither, and have not given notice yet, although I am very open with my wishes and have no further ambitions and really have a very low BS tolerance.......I openly comment about this in ways I never would have prior to FI). Will be eligible for a modest DB pension, so my initial, pre-SS WR will be between 3.0% and 3.7% depending on how much discretionary spending I do such as travel and charitable contributions. It may be even less as i have assumed 10% inflation for health care expenses, including premiums. This will drop to less than 1% once SS begins. Yet i dither with unreasonable financial fears. Anyone else who experienced this?
