OK, I'm officially going to join this Class of 2024. DW and I have discussed this quite a bit since I found this forum a few weeks back. We are targeting 2024 because that lines up with when our only child will graduate from High School. She is 10 now and we have $80k in a 529 and plan to have $160-200k in there by the time she graduates to pay for college, or enough of it to where the difference won't hurt. At that time I'll be 48 and DW will be 53. Actually, if we are ahead of schedule, we will look at DW stopping work at 50. We'll see how that works. Since we are doing updates. I'll start with today and include NW excluding real estate. So, only retirement accounts, taxable investment accounts and savings. The hope is to have $3mln by 2024, but with less we should be fine according to FireCalc. By 2024, our home will nearly be paid off and we plan to move to a much lower COL area, so should be able to use the equity in our current home to buythe new one outright and add the rest to our nest egg. As of close yesterday we we're at:
06/20/2017 - $1,205k
Glad I found this thread. Will update again end of each month.
Well, I said I would update at the end of each month. Guess that has turned into each quarter, so here's our latest:
10/02/2017 - $1,273k - Nice little quarter, I would say.
