Hi Folks,
I found this board 4 months ago when I asked for your thoughts on when to give notice at work. I've been mostly lurking since then, but I've reached the point where my countdown seems much more real now, and I thought I'd post again.
I will be 55 in November and at that point I will be eligible for MegaCorp healthcare for both myself and my husband. That has been my trigger point to retire -as we are FI now. (A fact that I am only slowly convincing him of. Thanks to FireCalc for helping me make that more clear.)
We have one grown son, who is now off the family paycheck - college completed and well-set up. That plus healthcare and a diverse portfolio means that I am able to look forward to this without worrying. I've already got three fun trips planned!
I do appreciate all the information I've found here and I wanted to say thank you. I'll be around more in the future.
