[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Some background: 
[/b]
I'm a 33 year old single teacher in NOVA. I am trying to see if I can stop working at my fairly lucrative hide hustle and just rely on my school salary.

I currently make around $83,000 from my NOVA school district and after taxes take home another $50,000 from my side hustle of tutoring. I really like the side hustle's money, but am [b]SO [/b]tired from the nights and weekends. Does DCUM fam think I have enough saved up so I don't have to keep my side hustle or can slow down?

[b]Finances: 
[/b]

Cash: $30,000

Taxable Brokerage: $185,000

403b: $126,000

457:  $63,000

Roth IRA: $90,000

My home is worth about $615,000 and I owe about $450,000 on it.

I currently max out my 403b, Roth IRA, and contribute $2,000 a month to my taxable brokerage account.

[b]Future Plans
[/b]

Not really into getting married but may become a Single Mom by Choice one day.

I plan on staying with my district and will get a pension paying about 70% of my salary when I retire in my mid 50s.

Does DCUM think I can pull the trigger and stop tutoring? [/quote]

Is this for real?  Those pension numbers are SIGNIFICANTLY more generous than MoCo counterparts. [/quote]
