Class of 2023

[Ready2Go]

Didn't see a thread so figured I'd start one. I'll be 58. Tentatively marking 5/1/2023 as the date.

Anyone else targeting 2023?

Such a lonely class! 4/1/2023. I will be 51!

Finally! Yes! Welcome aboard!

 

[Gringoretirado]

Well this one finally made me join since I have been targeting 2023 for a while. I'll be 54.

I have been a lurker on this site for years. Finally registered to join this thread. 10/20/2023 and I will be 56.5 which is my MRA (minimum retirement age). I may finish out the year and retire in early 2024 but who knows.

 

[Tiger8693]

2023 here is my plan. Will be 60. Hopefully all works out that way!

 

[Gringoretirado]

Great, the thread is growing.

@Ellbaker, MRA at56.5, is that from the FERS?

 

[thepalmersinking]

Will be 58 in 2023. I hope to be out by then too!

 

[23isme]

From my username you can guess I am doing the same. 12/31/2023 at the latest, for FAFSA purposes
I'll be 55

 

[Omega]

Add me to the list! I'll be 59.

 

[FI_by_2023]

Have also been focused on 2023 being the FI year for me.

 

[Ready2Go]

Welcome everyone!

 

[Turboslacker]

How y'all hanging in there? I'm still on track for 2023 and looking forward to freedom!!

We are planning for August of 2023. I will be 60 and my wife will be 55. That's the earliest date my wife qualifies for her pension, and the earliest age I can withdraw from my IRA without penalties.

We could go scorched earth and technically make 2023 by the skin of our teeth. We're probably more Class of '27 - '29 but one can dream.

We'd have to sell our house and get something mortgage-free with the $130k equity before piling $80k-$85k/year into investments like crazy people. This could get us to $850k+ invested, paid off house, and minimally funded college fund. Barebones is the word that comes to mind. Just wanted to consider joining your club for a few minutes. Best of luck to all!

FI, and won't retire any later than at age 60 in 2023.

 

[Ready2Go]

I'm still looking at 5/1/2023...at age 58. Megacorp experiencing some tough times...so, if things don't turn around, I may be going sooner. Will be comfortably FI in 2022.

 

[Ole Red 29]

our soft target is 2023. We are FI now and have been for awhile, but have no reason to leave the job now (enjoying life now every day even with a job). Will be 62 in 2023 (57 now). Lots of extra comp triggers for us at 62, so might as well hang around for it, as long as life is still fun now. In the meantime, the extra income lets us live more extravagantly than we normally would (travel business class, take more trips, buy more toys).

Hello all! I'm planning on FIRE in June of 2023. I'll be 55. How exciting!

Excellent! Hard for me to get excited yet...although I did just dowload one of those countdown apps the other day. Right now it says...

4 years, 1 month, 17 days, 7 hours, 54 minutes and 6 seconds...er 5 seconds, err.

Mine says 4 years, 5 months, 5 days, and 3 hours.

That's 5pm on Friday, Aug 18, 2023.

 

[DisneyDreamer]

Mine just hit 222 weeks yesterday!!! Woohoo!

 

[Retire2023]

207 weeks here....or 1448 days!

 

[wdwwildbill]

long time lurker with just a few posts. i am aiming for early 2023 as of now. I'm not as young as most of you but life has a way of putting a bump or 2 in the road along the way. Will be 64 but that will still be better than 67 lol

I recently upgraded my android phone and the old countdown app I had been using is no longer available. I found a new one called "Time Until" that I like a lot.
