I was condsidering selling my primary residence that will generate about 500k in profit, and as I'm married, I thought I would not have any capital gains liabilities, but I think that may not be case as my income is also included in the calculation correct? (My income is around 200K for the...

One common thing I continue to read, is that many early retiree's wish they had pulled the plug earlier...Not necessarily having regrets, but knowing what they know now, wished they had just made the decision earlier? So, you guys would be the best to ask and poll this...Yes, or No? and why?

I'm going to retire in May of this year and my mind continues to think of small almost illogical things I'm overly excited to do when the day finally arrives. 1, Book a one-way flight and return at my leisure when I'm ready...I traveled a lot for work and always had to cut trips or vacations...

Quick question ;D I know MAGI is loosely based on the AGI but is the standardized deduction (12K SF & 24k per couple MFJ) carried over and factored in to the MAGI income calculation? If not, can rental deductions be included? (not losses, as I know they cannot) just deductions? Thanks!

Nice to find like minded people on this forum :greetings10:...After giving out FI advice for the last 10 or so years, I'd love some feedback from the board on my situation, as I'm sure there are things I may not be thinking of. 51 Years old---want to retire next year...will live 1/2 year in US...
