I’m turning 40 this month. Female, no kids, in a serious long term relationship but we keep our finances separate so consider me single for this question.
I am in my peak earning years. Because of my RSUs my W2 says I made $280K this year. Next year probably the same amount if the company stock doesn’t tank. 2019 though it will probably go down to $220K because my RSUs run out and I have no more coming in.
So.. I don’t want to work longer than I have to even if I’m paid well. Tell me if my target amount is good.
I want to have $1.4M in equities/bonds.
I also want to have about $1M in rental property. I own a rental property in bayarea with about $1M in equity but the return is pathetic. I was thinking about doing a 1031 exchange for a brand new 4 unit townhomes with a 4.5% net return after taxes and property manager fees. I have identified it already and thinking about doing it soon.
This year to date I have spent $23000. Let’s say my yearly spending is $25K. Of course health insurance is not included as my company pays for it. So I predict my retirement expenses will be $50K/year.
I already have $1M equity in my rental property so I’m good there. I have $1.15M in equities/bonds, so which means I need another $250K which would take me 1.5 years to get there. Of course I would need to exchange my existing bayarea rental property for the one that I’ve identified for me to say I can get 4.5% net return.
So what do you guys say? Is my plan sound? If so I can FIRE in 2019 summer.
