RE at 35...You my friend are awesome. Guess you have been and done everything now. Best wishes ahead buddy and keep discovering :-)

Congrats my friend. So whats next?

Thanks. And yup, it does look that it would be one day a time adventure and how things will unfold.

"45 years old. Exited the job market in 2010 (age 36). Have lived solely off my investments since 2015 (age 41). Current AA: real estate 30% / cash 70% Current WR: < 2%" This is awesome. My most passive income (70%) is from real estate, and rest is cash/emergency funds. Just spending few more...

:-) My only motivation even to retire was to spent time with my little one (or may be another one when we decide to have one). She is also little "delayed" on speech and development side. Thing is I am still loosing a lot of time being in this corporate culture and when I say I retire at 45...

"The idea is you will have the freedom to do as little or as much as you want to do. That freedom more than any specific plan is the appeal of retirement" Very well said. "Freedom" is what we are all eyeing for here

Thanks. And you are right on thinking about what to do after retirement. Something I am keeping in mind and one of the reason to start this thread Thanks for your inputs

Thanks for the reply. At what age you retired? It seems you guys almost travelled the whole world now :-) I plan to retire by 45 (34 now). Any advise for me? :-)

Keep it coming guys....do respond :-D

oh wow....any plans after July 5th? Lets reach july 5 first :-D

ha ha ha :-)

So I was wondering.... What are you doing after retirement? TIA

Thanks. Yeah, i never did fund investing before, so kind of not sure how exactly i need to put my investment. I keep reading but thats just reading. Kind of going half and half between Canada and US. Going nuts reading and going through each of fidelity funds portfolio...

Whats your take on below fund, mainly on its portfolio distribution: Management Relatively New fund and doesnt have a whole lot of historical performance. MER will be discounted for me.

I understand. Guess the reason i went for this is because I didnt wanted to keep checking my portfolio for a while (atleast thats how I saw it as passive) but i understand that I need to see how my fund performs. Whats your take on fund's mix of equities/debt in intl/us/cad market?
