I plan on joining you all on 12/31/2017. I'll be 56 1/2.
ER date of 4/1/2017. Orcas island bound. Can't wait! We'll both be 59.

Feeling pretty good about a June 30, 2017 start. This is a payout date for my YE bonus and I don't want give my employer a chance to screw me out of it. DW would've retired from her teaching position at the end of the school year in May 2017. We will be 59 & 57. We are going to live on our good looks until DW's pension (and a miniscule one of mine) start in 3 years.
Dang, good looks. I knew I was missing something.
Revised our date again, now it is the 2nd of April 2017!Have pushed up our date just slightly to the 1st of August 2017, still on track to meet our FIRE goals. Saving about 70-80% of our income now and it is all good!
Congrats!We're now in class of 2016! So, if there is a list, you can cross our name off.
I'm joining the Class of 2017 after flunking out of the 2015 class. I plan to retire in September 2017 when I turn 62. This will bump up my pension significantly. Since I have a good bit of annual leave accumulated, I'll be taking one day a week off in 2016 and hope to work part-time in 2017.
Based on current value of my accounts and expected additions over the next 3 years I am targeting to go to a flexible / PT consulting position. I will be 62 and will be a position to not have to work, but would prefer to continue working in a flexible / PT arrangement (as an independent consultant).
I realize if there is a big downturn in the next few years I will have to readjust somewhat, but nice to know I have the option and flexibility. Not that I am counting, but only 34 more months!
