Love this forum!
I am 54, hub is 56, and we are thinking of retiring no later than April 2012. I have a large bonus that is paid in April, as well as stock options that vest (and are very low priced) so timing to take advantage of those sources of income.
We have about 1.4M and I have run firecalc a number of times. We both have been low 6 figure wage earners so our SS numbers are good, even if they end up delayed.
Our only wild card is college is my husband's youngest kid (Jr in HS). We are encouraging her to attend a university in Canada which is excellent and will save us 20K per year. Her dad will never say no, so if she chooses another one that costs 50-55K he will have to keep working. Sort of a shame, but that is up to him.
My date is set!
