Hello sortof! It sounds like you're doing pretty good at age 40. Do you have any goals (hopes, dreams) about when you and your spouse would like to retire?

Forgot to add would like to retire at 55 if possible

Looks good to me--your expenses will drop in 15 years once the young ones are off the "payroll" (younger will be 21, probably last year of college?). Have you run your numbers through FireCalc and other calculators to see where you'll be at 55 financially and older?

Don't forget to tell them that ... preferably sooner rather than later!
