[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work? Are you okay with the idea of being alone and not finding another significant other? If you are not scared of the financial impact, then I would say yes. You don't want to live the rest of your life (and there's still a lot of it) miserable each day.[/quote]

I just divorced at 52.  I have no problem being by myself and really have no desire for another "significant other."  Frankly, I was done with the constant disrespect, the fighting, the having to ask the SO for their input on virtually everything.  No thank you anymore.  Got my $500K of assets and off I went.  Very happy indeed.[/quote]
Per Fidelity, you probably should have about 7x your salary in savings at your age. So your 500k supports about a 70k HHI lifestyle[/quote]
Doesn't include my pension.  But you know what, staying with my toxic, abusive ex wife would have been worth me having a 0K HHI.  I've run calculators and will be replacing about 80 percent of my income between my TSP, my Federal pension and social security.  I am not worried.

Good for you![/quote]

She’ll probably get 1/2 if your pensions and TSP, at least the part earned during the marriage.  My XDH is getting half of my federal pension.[/quote]
