I have been reading this forum for about a year now and I love it. I have started posting so I thought it was only fair to tell a little about myself.
I am married DW and I are both mid forties with 2 kids around 10 yo. According to firecalc and other tools I could probably retire now or in the very near future but I won't. We all know that retiring early opens you up to several risks portfolio failure, long term care, major healthcare event and so on. While I am prepared to accept these risks I cannot in good conscience accept them on behalf of my children so I will wait until they are college age or close to it before I take the leap. I think early retirement in the mid fifties sounds good enough for me.
Thanks and if I post something that is wrong or you disagree with remember its not my fault.
