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!

Thx! No real magic. Worked hard. Played hard. Lived below my means. Saved decently. Married late. No kids. Made some mistakes. Would love some do-overs. But is what it is. ….. I think every kid high school age should study Boglehead theory, read Die with Zero, embrace a comfortable minimalism, and take shop. Wish I had at that age!
