I have been lurking in this forum in the past 3 years. This is my first post. I finally gave notice to MegaCorp 2 weeks ago. Retirement date is set for end of May. Learning from the posts gave me the courage to pull the plug. It was a big decision after 25 years of daily grind. I was fortunate to be in the IT field building software products. Worked for a small startup that grew and grew and eventually acquired by Mega Corp almost 10 years ago. It was a successful startup. Mega Corp convinced a few of the founders to stay with stock options and incentives. They were worried that we would decide to ER after the acquisition. Before you know it, it was 10 years with MegaCorp. DW retired from work 12 years ago after our second child was born. Two kids are in senior high school now.
I decided it is time to ER to spend more time with my kids before they go off to college. Had been LBYM; no expensive hobby and overall family expense is 75K per year.
Ran FireCalc a few times for 45 years lifespan and all ended up with 100 percent success rate
