Hello!
I am 47 years old from Southern California. After 17 years of working as a manager in the manufacturing environment, I am so tired and stressed out due to personnel, equipment, quotas, and other issues so I am wondering if I have what it takes to bail me out for good!!!
I am single but I do have a steady girlfriend for the past 2 years. She works and lives with her elderly mother at the moment. She will be moving in with me sometime in the future but she does work and has income and I will not ask her to contribute anything to lower my monthly expenses.
I have ZERO credit card debt. The only debt I have now is the $150K mortgage that I refinanced 2 years ago at 3.75%. Monthly payment is only $700 a month and the property is currently valued at $325K. I have 28 years left on the mortgage and I intent NOT to pay it off anytime soon as I plan to have mortgage interest helps offset the annual income tax from 401K withdrawal.
Now the numbers:
$750K in 401K with Vanguard and $40K in bank accounts.
$3K TOTAL monthly expenses that I included $300/month for ObamaCare.
I intent to draw SS at age 62.
I love antique / vintage items and over the years I have paid roughly $200K for them. Since it is a hobby that gives me a lot of enjoyment and stress relieve, I do not expect to liquidate anytime soon and I DO NOT want my antique collection to be counted in the equation.
So, do I have what it takes to bail me out?
Thanks in advance!!!
