I'm in! I'll be 51 and am planning on giving up the F/T job by end of 2018. I enjoy working generally, but just don't want to be strapped to a boss anymore. Will probably take a gap year and start feeling out some fun ways to earn a little extra & be involved in things i love.
Just curious about everyone's path towards D-day. I recently moved my AA to 60/40. Did this for a couple reasons. One, the market is so high that a pullback just seems inevitable sooner rather than later. Second, I've worked really hard to build my nest egg and am trying to insure a bit against sequence return risk. In fact, I'm exploring Wade Pfau's idea to increase AA over time in ER and will likely put (what I expect to be much lower) future earnings into stocks.
Haven't settled yet on the plan, but curious to know what you all are up to in this regards.
Congrats to all!
