Hello, everyone. I have been lurking for awhile and just had to jump in. Everyone seems so friendly. Heard about your group from the Boglehead website. My husband and I think about retiring early, myself more than him. He is gone from the home 13 hours per day running our company. He will be 50 in 2010, our daughter will be graduating in May 2010 and we will be married 20 years in 2010. I keep looking at the numbers and really believe we could retire in 2010 but not 100% sure.
We have duplexes paid for that net income is $60,000 per year. My husband would like to take care of them, cutting grass, painting when vacancy occurs, etc. We have $860,000.00 in 50% bonds and 50% mutual funds, all with Vanguard. I will be 53 in 2010 and my theory is live on $5000.00 per month rental income, have $200,000.00 in laddered CD's for emergency until I turn 59 1/2 and we can access our Vanguard accounts.
So what do you experts think?
