[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two thoughts. First retirement is not a one way street but if you decide to reenter the labor market you will take a hit. Second, what’s your return assumption? Have you processed the fact that real interest rates are negative? What do you think that means? [/quote] Of course. If we retire , it would be very difficult to find jobs in our field again as we are very specialized unless we are willing to move etc. We are right now invested very aggressively for our age and have most in equities. Obviously if the stock market takes a big hit in the next few years we’ll be singing a different tune. My plan is before we retire to move 1M into safe assets. In 2008, our portfolio dropped by half and as traumatic as that was it was only 400k or so at that time- now it would be a much different story.[/quote] How did you get from 400k to 5 mil in 14 years?[/quote]
