[quote=Anonymous]We are mid-40s with a 4M+ NW (not including home equity) so I can answer your question. We would NOT feel comfortable retiring on that amount and we are pretty frugal. Kids are expensive, food costs are ridiculous, and healthcare would be astronomical if we were to quit our jobs. Instead, we have been able to take more “risks” with our work. I took a slightly reduced schedule and WFH and my husband left his corporate job to start his own business. Our annual income is highly unpredictable, but we are doing work we enjoy, have health insurance, and both have a ton of flexibility to volunteer, take our kids to all their sports and activities, and generally be there for our kids and spend time with them. To me, that’s worth a lot in the elementary years. We plan to consider retiring one we’re closer to $8-$10M.[/quote]
