Confused about dryer sheets
Hi I am 45 and I've been married to my wife for 23 years this week. We both work and are looking forward to retirement on a sailboat part of our time.
We have just under $1,000,000 saved in our combined company 401K's, cash balance retirement plans, cash, savings accounts and Roth IRA's. Our annual contributions to retirement accounts plus our employer contributions are about $45,000 each year and we make about $150,000 combined. We own with no mortgage about $400,000 worth of deep water gulf access real estate in south Louisiana. Our primary home is worth about $250,000 and our next door rental is worth about $150,000. Our boys may live at home even after they get jobs. We may rent the other for about $1,000 per month.
We have a 5 year goal of retirement. We have two boys in college and expect them to graduate in about 2 to 3 years with about $40,000 left in Education IRA's. We have zero debt!
I plan to spend about $150,000 to $200,000 on a catamaran to sail from our home to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.
With our home in a great location near the Mississippi River there are wonderful opportunities for good paying jobs at nearby plants and refineries. It would be very easy to sell our property if needed. We however would more likely keep it possibly renting both properties eventually for a combined total of over $2,000 in income per month. We could dock our catamaran in front and live aboard when not cruising.
So our totals are.
$1,000,000 total retirement accounts and cash accounts.
$400,000 in total paid no mortgage real estate
$40,000 in education IRA's
5 year goal to retirement at age 50 (maybe some part time work occasionally)
I think we are gonna make it!
