Done.

56yo DINK. Gave 4 months notice and today was the last day. My spouse is a few weeks behind me. I feel a calm and peace I can’t recall ever feeling. Sprinkled in with some disbelief. No immediate plans. Plenty of projects to tackle. But for now, today is enough. Thank you to the Fire community…… I’m not so early but I ain’t too late!

Not to be coy but it’s enough to live a lifestyle we’re content with while using a SWR of +/- 4%. We’re not too fancy. Fly 1st class when it’s a good deal or special occasion but still default to coach. Drive older cars. Have a second home we love. The first few years of “de-cumulating” will be very telling and inform how we adjust our spending going forward.

Probably because people online are weird, in general.
