So w*rk is bogus, and I'm itchy. Everything says I can retire today. Then I look at my net worth and realize between savings and market return, I've had 50% appreciation in the last 4 years.
That's good. And that's scary.
I think it is leading to my OMY syndrome. If I can see 50% up in 4 years which crossed me over from non-FI into FI, who says I can't see 30% down in 4 years dropping me back to near non-FI scary-land.
This good market is playing games with my head.
I know some folks here retired in 2008, and it has worked out for them. Yet... Well... I don't know. This volatility and potential volatility is driving me insane.
