[quote=Anonymous]I’m a former Biglaw partner who retired early a decade ago in my early 50s, haven’t done any kind of work since, and I consider myself rich even though I’d be three times richer had I continued working.

We currently have a net worth of just over $8 million.  $2 million of that is real estate equity in our primary residence and second home.  We still have a mortgage on our primary residence because the mortgage rate is ridiculous (under 2 percent).

The remaining $6 million plus is a little over on million in a brokerage account and the rest in retirement accounts.  I elected to take social security early and between that another small source of income we bring in about $75k a year.  We’re living quite well as a result while drawing down substantially less from our accounts than most experts recommend as the maximum, so our net work has been increasing each year.

I am definitely not rich by Biglaw standards or DCUM standards but it sure is nice not having to even think about what day of the week it is most mornings.  [/quote]
