We've been planning an Aug 2023 exit for the last few years, since that's the first year my wife can take her pension and I can withdraw from my IRA penalty free. However, I took a new look at our finances and investments recently and we have moved our exit date to Dec 2022. We'll live off our savings in 2023, delaying my wife's pension till Jan 2024 to boost the payments slightly. Ironically, this allows us to retire earlier with a better success rate.
There are a few things that could even push our exit forward to 2021, but I'm not considering those options unless they actually occur. Unfortunately, there's also an issue that could push our plans back a few years. So the next few years will be interesting, and stressful, to see what happens. Until then we're saving like crazy people.
