Hi All. I've been lurking here for a couple of months, learning and trying figure out how to cut the w*rk strings.
I'm 53 and DW is 59. We have been saving for FI for the last 20 years, and I think we have finally arrived. We live in SoCal and our house is paid off. DW has a CalPers pension waiting for her, and I've maxed my 401K for 20 years. All the calculators I have tried are giving us the thumbs up.
But...
While my current job is very stressful (mostly due to co-worker drama, and poor management leadership) I still like doing my job and the pay is *very* good (golden handcuffs). There is a chance that MegaCorp will let me go before year end, but they have threatened me with that every 6 months for the last three years without following through with it.
Additionally, I am nervous about the Market being at record highs and using these values in calculators to predict retirement readiness.
