2021 update.
Approx Total savings minus mortgage is about $791k.
I am now semi-actively planning for retirement. We are starting to purchase items in the anticipation that we will use them for a very long time. We are getting rid of things we really don't need and have plans for a few upgrades around the house. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
+1 This is a good approach. Things change over the years, and you will change. When you get to the "number" you are targeting you will be financially independent and free to choose your future.Welcome aboard and congrats on being ahead of the curve. Way too many people don't wake up to saving & investing until 40-50 yo if then, when it's probably too late. Don't worry about ER, make FI the goal and worry about what to do then when you'll have options few others do...
