It’s my impression that the date based people tend to have pensions/medical or SS that they’re working towards.
For us it’s a combination of things. I’d like to hit 100% in firecalc, so number based, but that’s mainly dependent on market returns, so may or may not happen. We’re at 93% today, assuming pretty flush spending and some part time income over the next two years. If we ratchet down spending we could be at 100%.
If the markets cooperated, and we hit 100% next year, I would probably be done. That said, we’d like to keep some income coming in for the next couple of years just to get a solid handle on expenses in a new location. If the bs bucket isn’t full I think we both would continue working PT if able, just to fund some extras. If we decide we’re done, we’ll adjust spend.
