Hello,
I am 43 single with no kids and intend to stay that way. My total net worth is $2.628 million however $1.12 million is my home where I live in the Bay Area(California). $74k in IRA. $207K in 401k. $1.4 million investments with 75% stock vs 25% bond split. I worked for Amazon and never sold the stock I got as RSUs and there 40% of my investment is in that stock. My expenses are not very high and I believe that with about $400/month for health insurance, $200/month for home + auto + umbrella insurance, $300/month utilities and $500/month for food should put me at about $1400. Property tax and HOA is another $1000/month. So overall that puts me at close to $2500/month. My home mortgage still has $175k left. I will have to pay $2750/month for the next 5 years to pay of my home. If I calculate 4% of $1.7 million investments then it comes to about $68k per annum which is $5666/month. That makes it very close for the next 5 years while I am paying my mortgage. Should I sell my house and move to a cheaper location in the USA? That way I don't have to pay my HOA and property tax that forms the bulk of my expenses? Are there any expenses that I am not thinking about?
