I've been lurking on here for years and have been enlightened by the thoughtful conversations and introductions from the group.
Little about me: 57 yo married guy worked for 33 years in the software business in sales and sales leadership. Living the dream in Austin TX. Took a retirement package that will allow me to fund 2.5 years of expenses (including COBRA for 18 Months) without tapping into nest egg (1.6m Pretax/ 2.1M Post Tax). Small 15 yr mortgage (120k) on our home with equity at 1.1M.
DW still works part-time as RN making around 20k net most of which goes to our youngest's college living expenses (529 covers the rest).
Medical seems to be the largest expense. Right now COBRA for family is $2,400 per month (company paid for the first 7 months thru Feb 2022). 2022 will be funded by cash so the only income I'll show is my wife's 20k so would plan to enter the ACA market for 2023 and optimize the subsidies.
Loving the freedom and the joy of slowing down a bit. Love any suggestions or guidance of the new found freedom.
