Dryer sheet aficionado
Hello,
Admired this site and posts here. Been on Bogleheads more, but like/want to get more perspective here too.
Ages: 45 & 47. Kids: 15 & 13.
Aggressive goal: FIRE in two years.
More realistic goal: FIRE in five years.
Challenge: we’ll both want to retire together.
Liquid retirement assets: total: around $3.3M (80/20, stock/bond)
850k taxable brokerage. Roughly $2.4M in 401k & Roth.
529s: around $270k.
Expense: $190k. Private school ends next year, expenses should come down to $150k.
No debt. House in CA Bay Area. Not going to sell.
Adding roughly $100k in retirement accounts a year. Perhaps 10-20k to taxable.
Life goals: summer of 2026 off. Big summer with elder son graduating. Summer 2029 second son graduates. Really want to be done that year when I’ll be 50.
Thanks! Lmk what I’m missing.
