Take it easy greasy. Nobody likes a skinflint show-off!

Kinda scary ain't it?You sure don't miss much ...
That sounds lovely Rich....I'm so glad y'all are having a good time. With the holidays coming up, you just might squeeze out an additional 1%, but I won't hold your feet to the [-]FIRE[/-] fire.....It increased that last .01% because at the moment I am relaxing at a beautiful campground on Sanibel, having just finished a long bike ride to the beach, lunch, and am gearing up for a power nap (not easy work, you know). I have to fit in a Dairy Queen run before it gets too close to dinner.
The result of all that recreation increased my FIRE motivation, explaining the increment. Thanks for noticing (love the emoticons). DW and I will take pictures this evening if we can.
I voted door #2. My goal is NW CDN$3m for a 2% SWR of $60K, which is about what I spend now. No pension, which is why I am going for 2% SWR.

I wish I knew how to accomplish that, with no kids that would be my plan too. Haven't figured out how to predict returns or my exact expiration date...Die broke...That's mah plan!
Well, I said it was my plan...I don't have it down to a science...yet. Perhaps I should check my tookus and see if there is an expiration date stamped there.I wish I knew how to accomplish that, with no kids that would be my plan too. Haven't figured out how to predict returns or my exact expiration date...

Being frugal with cars won't cut it. One of my friends is still working at 69. He drives a 1959 MGA that he bought new in (surprisingly) 1959. Financially, two divorces are much worse, ask him.

True enough. If it weren't for the (low) but real risk of failure, I might do just that...awww that is simple, take your entire net worth and buy a COLAed SPIA. that lets the insurance do the "predicting".
