Hello there - I've been lurking on and off here over the last few years and you all seem like a smart, nice group of people. I'm 50 and and my DH is 49. No kids. Our only debt is our mortgage - balance of 196K - will be paid off in about 12 years (unless we choose to prepay on principal). We have retirement (401K) of 880K, liquid savings of $88K and home equity of 300K.
DH is self-employed as a software consultant and grosses roughly 120-150K per year. I work at a non-profit - salary of 58K. In my prior career in big law I made oodles more money but lifestyle was horrible. Much happier in new(ish) (7 years in) career.
Dh and I are still happy working but have our eye on our 60th birthdays as our ER date. To be honest if I thought it was possible we'd do it in about 6 or 7 years.
I am so looking forward being part of this community and getting and giving good advice. Happy Saturday everyone!
