Yikes. Kind of freaking out a little. Two public school teachers--55 and about to be 55. Not early by this forum's standards, but everyone around us acts like we're crazy. DH "retired" last year and got a great job at a local university. They just asked him to stay indefinitely, and he wants to, which is great. I am set to go in June and have a side hustle as a travel agent that I will hopefully expand when I have more time. We've been thrown a few curve balls pension wise, but we have 1M in addition to our (smallish) pensions, and I've been tracking our spending for a long time. I've been crunching numbers every which way, and it seems like we're going to be fine, but I am scared to start drawing down this nest egg that we worked so hard to build. Grateful for any advice.
