Been a lurker for a little while and finally decided to make an account. I've frankly been lazy about mine and my wife's finances. We've been basically just throwing money on our mortgage because it's easy and maxing out 401ks. I'm starting to dislike my job and would like to retire ASAP. I wouldn't consider ourselves frugal but we do not spend needlessly.
HCOL area (Los Angeles)
Income: 260k/year (before taxes)
No kids. 33M/33F
Cash:~33k
Investments:
Total: $775,682 (aggressively invested, near 100% stocks)
401ks: $597,609
HSA: $4,067
Taxable: $61,550
Roth IRAs: $112,456
Real Estate:
Home Value: ~$750,000 (according to Zillow)
Mortgage: ~180k (2.875%)
Equity: $585,000
Debt:
Car loans: ~22k (@2.19%)
No other debt.
Net worth:
According to personal capital, our net worth is about 1.4m
FIRE Goals:
Our expenses are actually really low. No kids, low mortgage payment, hardly any debt. With our company matches, we're putting away about 140k a year in our investment/cash accounts. I'd like to quit working when we have 2 million in investments and the house paid for. She will keep working making +120K a year but not putting as much into retirement since we should have a good nest egg.
How much longer do I need to work for to achieve this goal? I'm thinking about another 5 years assuming 8% returns. We've actually been doing quite a bit better but that's a different discussion.
