One income. NW about 2.3m. A couple pensions coming in the future - (enough to cover expenses) they go up about 8% each year not taken so gonna let them ride. SS and probable inheritance.
When I got my career job, I thought it was to good to be true. Surely they would figure out I was not worthy.....So I saved and invested about 50% of my income. Well the career last over 20 years and a couple by outs (mega pharma). Maxed my 401K when they became available and continued to save as much as I could - it's all about delayed gratification - to a point - you need to enjoy life but not live any where near your means if you want out early. Good thing I did this because I burned out fast after some new management took over. I would have croaked if I was in a position of having to stay on under the new circumstances.
