I found this site through Boglehead and I have been reading tons of posts here for the last couple of months.
50, single female, living in northern CA. 500K or so in 401K. 130ish K in taxable account/MM/cash. Grossing about 130K/yr. No debt. Maxing out my 401K (20K from this year) plus adding extra 20-25K savings to taxable etc. No pension plan (except for the $385/mo (no COLA) from my former employer.)
I moved to this area from AZ about 10 years ago, but never purchased a home here (I am renting.) - the price difference in housing was so ridiculous that I couldn't bring myself to consider paying 600K for a house I could get in AZ for < $200. I want to retire by 60, but unless I moved to a far away land or some rural area, it would be very tough.
I didn't start thinking about retirement stuff until about 3 years ago, so I am doing my best to catch up now. (I wish I thought about it 10 years ago, but better late than much later!)
This forum has been motivating me and encouraging me to get my goals set and dream/fantasize about early retirement.
