Hi-I'm a 56 yr old male with a 52 yr old wife. Twins age 18 entering college and a 22 year old that recently graduated college.
My career background is I spent 30 years working at the CME. The past 5 years I have worked basically a blue collar job making $50k a year. Work and culture is brutal at my job but it gets me out of the house. My wife makes $35k a year and has excellent health insurance. She plans on working till 60 and will get a modest pension. Our financial situation is:
Net worth $4.8mln.
Home: $800k (paid off)
Portfolio $4 mln (50/50 allocation at Vangurd)
Expenses: 115k per year
Kids college is paid for and not included in these numbers.
I have worked since I was 12 and put myself thru college etc..My job is brutal but the idea and retiring at age 56 is something I can't imagine. When I left the CME, the only jobs I could find were FA jobs. I am a quiet guy who likes to work but is perhaps the worst job seeker.
Thx
