Thank you, everyone! It does feel strange knowing I will be done Friday afternoon. I know others have said this before, but I was still surprised by the variety of reactions to the announcement at work.
Update 4/6/2023
Once the market started turning down at the start of 2022, I decided to wait it out a bit and kept saving/working as my portfolio dropped. Fast forward to today, I am back at 30.5A (years of living expenses), or a 3.28% withdrawal rate, with an extra 4A on the side for various contingencies and sinking funds.
I am moving toward a retirement date somewhere between 5/5/2023 and 6/2/2023, but I still find myself thinking about OMY. I make enough and live frugally enough that OMY is worth 2A in additional savings. I'm getting more confident I am ready but it feels like a lot of money to walk away from at 43.
Thanks for listening
