Been in the tech industry for nearly 20 years... burned out is a massive understatement. (I'm 46 btw) 1.5M in investments (401ks, ROTHs, HSA, HYSA, ect) 200-300k windfall coming over the next few months House paid off -> ~8k/yr property tax. Equity is around 700-800k, I do not include this in my fire number 2 good cars, no payments (values not include in my fire number) No CC debt, or any kind of debt Then 2 kids, 6 and 9. Wife has a simple job for the schools at ~36k/year. This is where I will transition for health care. 2 cats, 1 large dog, and good health. I effectively built our house (which has a metal roof), so maintenance is not a concern, same for the vehicles I've ran the numbers over and over again, average annual expenses including property taxes are around 40k. My real fire number where I'd feel better is at 2.5, where at 4% is ~100k... more than 2x what we use today.. and we're not really "Saving"... just kids in school, school activities...β¦
