age? depending it’s gonna be hard to spread that out unless you are very frugal.
early 40s
Leave the dystopian Bay Area and go somewhere with better COL, vibes, and fun!
Retire to something, not away from something.
You will be depressed after retirement because luxury of your friends who keep working will keep growing while you would just be traveling in business class or economy after retirement but that friend of yours who doesn’t retire would soon have his own private jet Unfortunately no amount of money is ever enough for us humans
i feel retiring early might prolong my life, can have own cook, relax more in India. Here have a hectic life.
And so what? How does that make OP happier?
Could you share how to get to such NW..any IPO or was it passive investing?
this is peanuts
I’m early 40s and taking some time off. Not ready to retire, but man, I need a break. Maybe give something that a shot and reevaluate things? Google looks great on a resume so I’m sure you’ll be able to land somewhere decent if you decide to come back. Life is too short.
If you can move to Lcol you can already retire. If not then continue steuggling for atleast 15 more years
im on h1 visa. retirement means india or EU,
Sure. Go for it. But if you married an indian chic good luck convincing her. I dont think that will be possible.
