Good day everyone.
I've been reading these forums for a couple of years, lots of great information and such an engaged community!
I'm looking to take the plunge on Jan 4, 2021. Both DW and I will be 56 at that point.
I've worked in state government my entire career....32+ years and counting.
DW has been in the home since we started our family. Both children are now grown and successfully launched.
We've read through and have answers for the questions to ask before FIREing.
I've run our finances through FIRECalc using every imaginable possibility, and they all return with 100% success.
We have plans for health insurance until we are eligible for Medicare, taking into account that the subsidized health plans may change or even go away entirely before we hit 65.
Planning retirement during a pandemic is a little weird, but we both feel ready and excited to start the next stage of our lives.
Luckily we enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, etc and so there isn't a huge impact on our plans due to COVID.
Looking forward to becoming an active participant in these forums and continuing to learn from the experiences of others.
