.....$100k doesn't mean a new car and expensive vacations, it means $5k in annual income.
...and others want to debate the $5k should be only $4k or $3k or you risk depleting your nest egg.
See - you're an ernerd.That would be true for me (less taxes), but still nothing to sneeze at!

Funny you should post this - I just recently hit a target of $100K in a TE muni bond fund I've been building for years and years and years... Expected annual tax free income is about $4K......$100k doesn't mean a new car and expensive vacations, it means $5k in annual income.

That's the neat thing. If someone walking past your cubicle sees you working on a spreadsheet, they just assume you're being a good w*rker bee, not plotting your escape.I did this one. I also calculated how many additional days travel could be funded by one additional day's w*rk. Other people thought I was really studying the handouts.
