Welcome to the forum. It seems you are in good shape for your plan, assuming your budget numbers are accurate. Your only real hurdle will be the bridge between retiring and when you choose to receive SS. The SS will fill most of your gap after wife's pension so that your withdrawals from savings will reduce significantly. Having the after tax money available will help that bridge time, but consider that at low income levels it may be beneficial to do some pretax money withdrawals since tax effect will be very low. Or can do some Roth conversion at low tax rates. Hang around and read a lot, you will learn a considerable amount which will help you know when and confident in your retirement decision and plan.
