Hi All,
I posted a few times in the past years and wanted to provide an update based on all the helpful folks in this forum. Your feedback was instrumental in understanding what to plan for and what to possibly anticipate when considering leaving a full time career.
Quick reintroduction in that I have been in the corporate world for 30 years and DW in a part time role. As of December 31st, I will have officially concluded my full time career and could not be more excited. Like many here, I have decided to move into some part time work as my next phase and will be consulting with a few companies starting in January. DW is remaining part time as she enjoys her job and she is offered medical benefits which we are starting January 1st. To supplement our estimated part time income, our expected withdrawal rate will be 1.5% to start.
Once again, this forum has been so helpful in navigating this decision. Your own shared experiences and knowledge on so many aspects of making this transition was the key to pulling the trigger. Thank you and Happy New Year to all!
