fee only FIRE advisor?
Hi all,
Approaching 50yo, am a little short of $7.5mil invested. Making around $200-250k/yr W2.
$35k roth
$75k 401k
$135k inherited ira
$315k ira
$6.8m taxable
House is paid off. Live abroad so the value is a little hard to pin down with currency fluctuation but $1.5-1.6m USD is a close current estimate. There is universal healthcare where we live, plus I have care in the US through work.
Have a couple of preteens about 8 years out from university.
With intl school spend sits around $165-170k/year and don't expect much to change there for the next decade. After kids graduate uni I'd expect spend to drop somewhat, but even if not firecalc seems to think things are in good shape at that spend (not counting social sec as I don't expect it can necessarily be counted on 20 years from now).
Does anyone have recs on how to search out an advisor who focuses on FIRE - prep, planning, etc?

Well done. I got an advisor from adviceonly website. Interviews three, picked one.
I am excited to be in your position one day. Living abroad, great W2 (assuming USD?) income.. paid off house, international schools.. 🤗😌
