So we are getting close. I wanted 2014 to be the year and we are considering scaling back our expectations in order to make it, but realistically 2015 or 2016 may be more likely.
Anyway, we don't like to say retirement as that brings up images of slow lifestyles or not working at all. We may very well work part time. Being 44/56 we will likely work fun jobs, but high pressure career jobs will be over. Semi-retirement doesn't sound quite right, freedom sounds corny, FIRE too hard to explain....
What do you call working 25-50% time for some years for 1/10th your previous wage so you can enjoy life more?
