Hi everyone!
3.5 years ago I registered an account here and made this post:
27 and dreaming of retirement in 5 years. Am I crazy?
I would like to post an update here that since that original post, my wife and I worked hard and were able to save up $1M!!
We calculated that we're comfortable living on a 3-4% withdrawal rate of $1M and FIRE'd in March! With our new-found freedom, our first adventure was to drive down to Costa Rica from California. After a bunch of research and planning, we sold most of our things in California, ended the lease on our rented home, and packed up our truck and drove down here!
Now we're here - currently renting a house next to the beach in Costa Rica, simply enjoying life!
Just wanted to say hello, send positive vibes to all and thank everyone on this forum for their help and inspiration!
If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer anything!
