I have a very good working relationship with my FA with Fidelity. I feel like he wants to support me in the FIRE life that I've been carving out. I just had our 6 month post FIRE meeting and the numbers had some red flags. The question is whether to be concerned and make changes or just ride it out with minor tweaks along the way. Basically, my window for running my investments down would be somewhere around the age of 80 (my life expectancy is around 85-90) and after that we'd be living off of SS. This would in their "very worst case" scenario. Worst case would be around 85, and average scenario would be somewhere around 90-95. He said I should consider taking on j*b for the next 4-6 years to help extend the window to account for the worst case scenario. I'm a survivor of middle management and hate the thought of going back to w*rk, but I'm also not liking the thought of being just on SS in my late years. We tried several scenarios (ss start dates, withdrawal/investment strategies) and it ended up being minor differences with the numbers.
So the big question is whether I should consider going back to w*rk or am I living in fear of a very unlikely scenario?
