Hi, I’m 52 and I’m soon to be without a job. It’s technically a layoff.
$320K taxable accounts
$1.93M retirement/HSA accounts
$2.25M Total
$70K in 529 for 15 year old
$0 debt
Own Home and cars. No mortgage
$72K of expenses (if I include ACA healthcare) - I could trim this back, but being generous for unknowns.
(Adding in Social Security to below calculators)
FIRECalc says I can do $100K year based on 43 years (Bernicke model) 100% success
Fidelity gives me a score of 127 "on target" @$90K year expense
25X rule: $90K = $2.25M
Looks better than I thought. Glad I've been frugal all these years!
Here is my problem. These calculators don't take into account the percentage of funds in taxable vs. retirement accounts?
I'm looking for jobs and don't plan to FIRE yet. What can I do to get myself to 59.5 without paying a bunch of penalties if I need this money?
SEPP- too complicated and restrictive and expensive to manage?
ROTH conversion that could be ready in 5 years?
Do nothing and just pay the penalty if I need the money?
Thanks for your help!
