I’m early 50’s (51), so I’m planning/hoping to do the boat/irement in the next 6-8 years... before I’m 60, without a doubt. Just gotta get my last kid graduated and then make sure my dad has no problems for his golden years (he’s 78 and lives with me, but isn’t going to live on a boat with his bad back/knees/etc.).
Nice! I learned about the FIRE movement ~10-11 years ago (was closing in on 30) when my career was really taking off so as I’ve been promoted from Coordinator, to Mgr, to Sr Mgr, to Dir and now VP, we’ve saved nearly all of the increase in income except taxes and went from a negative NW to about $2 mil today...soon as I hit $3.5+, early retirement it is, which I’m estimating in 4 years +-1
