I'm 45 yo, my wife 47. We live pretty frugally - $15k/yr (not including income tax or employer paid healthcare). We've been contributing to 401k's, 403b's, 457 and Roth IRA's for sometime. We have $1.95M in retirement accts. About 400k of that is in Roths and 457's that is accessible before 59.5. Then we have another $880k in liquid(ish) assests (CD's, muni bonds, I series bonds). My wife has a lifetime tort annuity of $550/mo (compounding @2.5%/yr) that is tax free. Our muni bond pays a 3% tax free dividend of $600/mo. So that's $13k in non-taxable +$11k in taxable interest/yr.
My job has gone from good to horrible. So we are contemplating options.
We own our home, have no debt and no kids.
My wife retired last year - she was hit by a drunk driver while biking and has some memory issues, that make work not fun, and I figured we didn't need her income.
So should I stay or should I go?
If I stay, I make just over 100k/yr, have healthcare, gym and can work from home most days. Oh ya, and a really cool coffee machine at work. But the job is terrible.
