Hi guys, I am not a prolific poster here on the board but will throw my 2 cents in from time to time. I plan on increasing my posts dramatically after I FIRE in just 9 short days. I have run firecalc and it gives me 100% success. I (age 49) and wife (age 47) are fortunate enough and worked hard enough to own our brand new retirement florida dream home free and clear, have 2.1M in investible assets (mostly in after tax accounts) but no pensions. Our annual expenses are calculated (and have been tracked) at 56k annual which includes about 6k allowance for "murphy" showing up and taking residence in a spare bedroom. My question I guess is how does one get used to the dual feeling of both fear and excitement and also how to let go of the purse strings a little and feel ok to spend. I look at the SWR at about 2.7% and think I am ok but when can you really relax
