Thanks Nords.* You've pretty much hit it on the head!* I agree with letting the kids pay for more of the college.* Need to convince the wife (I did it; but then edu costs were a bit less then... and being a boomer, we have to spoil the kids right?)

I've thought about the part time work. Not sure I want to do it in my current field (that's why I want out now!). And not sure I could make even a fraction in another field. I have no intention of ER and then just sitting on my behind; just don't want to be in a positon where I NEED the income. Would be better off working a few more fulltime years....
