Hello Group!
I've been lurking out here for a few years and the finish line is in sight. I've been running FireCalc lately and coming in around 97.8 to 100% consistently across several models.
I've got concrete plans in place on what I need to do in order to punch out and this is where I'd like some validation and guidance.
Background:
Me: 56/ Wife: 50
Current:
Projected SS: Me 38k Wife: 16k
Annual Projected Retirement Expenses: 130-150k NET -I have run 2 years of expenses and have been avg around 15-18k per month but this includes numerous costs associated with 3 college aged kids that would fade away in retirement (cell, insurance (car/ health), food, school/ education, clothing etc.)
Bonus Paycheck March 2020: 250k made up of 120k is RSU which is repeated thru 2022. The other parts are variable comp/ commissions.
Avg Annual Pay: Me: 475-550k Wife: 20k
Contribute 50k per year to various employer savings plans (Roth 401k max, EE Stock purchase)
Here's my milestones before I will launch:
1. Payoff Mortgage: March 2020
2. Accumulate 2 years of expenses in cash -300k
3. Buy 2 cars @ 40-55k each (current cars are 3 to 4 years old)
4. Invest 100-125k in home remodel project 2021 paid with cash.
Plan would also have my wife and I doing side gigs until we are 70 @ 20k per year (work 3 or 4 months). Wife's a PRN (Flex time) Nurse and earns $40 per hour.
Does this make sense? Any concerns I might be missing?
