Hi All,
JB here. I think I am retired, but I’m not certain. Here’s a brief overview of my story:
-50, married, with one child left to send off to college (1 yr to go)
-Worked in Hi Tech and Finance for most of my career
-Laid off from my past two companies, downsizing, serious doubts I’ll be able to land another gig
-Have $900k in investments, about ½ in IRA’s, etc and 1/2 in taxable investments, no pensions, SS when 65.
-My wife moved into full time volunteer work about 1yr ago and it would take more than dynamite to get her back into the workforce!
-Have no debts, everything is paid for and the car/college/wedding funds for my daughter have been topped off.
So, my basic worry/concern is - if I can’t find another job can I make it on my investments?
My other concern is - if I’m not working then who/what am I??
Would love folks input and suggestions.
Thanks!
JB
