Congrats! Glad to see you made this decision.
I'll never forget a post made on these forums that really stuck with me. Don't remember the poster or the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of:
"Right now is the healthiest, most active you're going to be for the rest of your life."
Make the most of your hard earned money while you can enjoy it to the fullest!

Agree, depending on your age time may be more important. Our portfolio is half of yours; however, our guaranteed income is over 100K annually so we are set. I just need to pull the trigger next May or July on my 60th
Wish you all the best and congrats on your accomplishment. Impressive indeed.

Confused about dryer sheets
Congrats. I was going to say you should look at the risk of not retiring but that is moot now. You only have a few years to bridge till SS/Medicare and substantial assets so with your wife working it should be easy. Hope you find some new passions and interests.

Date finally set
After a long transition my last day is finally set for 9/27. Hard to believe that I just booked my last flight!

OP GO4IT we were a little less than you from a NW perspective when we FIRED (Second Time), we found we actually spent less afterwards. So we saved more and after ~10 years after FIRE we are now a lot better off. And we are NOT aggressive investors.

Congratulations! Sleep in on Monday just because you can.
Congratulations, and don’t be surprised if people start to ask why you have that smile all the time.
That's nice. Good luck!
Congratulations! Now go enjoy your life the way you want to and the way you deserve. The grass is greener on the other side of working.

I will definitely post updates. All pretty surreal now. Weird being disconnected from my 100 mph norm but I do not miss it. One curve-ball...I already got a job offer that is local and could be very lucrative. No hard details until next week. When approached I could not say flat out NO...so I bought a little time to see if I freaked out after a week or so with no job. So far I'm chill.
LOL!
Lots of folks discover that they didn't really want to be retired, they just wanted to be out of their current job.
Good luck.

Well it turns out that so far I'm enjoying being retired. I turned down the offer. It was supposedly only to be a 20-25 hour per week commitment but the thought of jumping back into something was just unsettling. I'm really enjoying my freedom and the decompression process. November will be the first month that I'll have to draw my own paycheck so hopefully that won't freak me out too much.
