I'm a little surprised nobody's asked this question:
"How much longer do your kids have before graduation? Any plans for a post-doc?"
BTW, one aspect of considering inflation is that your medical premiums may (probably will) rise, so make sure if you FIRE, you know what your co-pays and caps (and EVERY policy has caps on what it will pay in specific categories) are.
Getting a cancer diagnosis is not the time to find out your medical insurance only covers certain procedures or prescriptives up to a specified amount.
