Been here before, but my situation has changed dramatically in the past year. Divorced in June of this year, and planning my early retirement for one now.
Currently here is my situation, let me know what you think:
Roughly 700k in taxable investments
Around 400k in IRA/Roth/401k
Have some phantom options from the startup i work for, but not really counting on that at all.
Contribute about 5k a month to taxable account, all in vanguard index funds.
Contribute max to 401k, no match.
Currently I am saving about 50% of my pre-tax income, but some of the balance is from inheritance from my mom who passed away this year.
Looking to FIRE in about 5 years if possible. Pie in the sky is to retire abroad, Spain is where I have my sights set.
Am I crazy to think that I can do it by 44?
