The current revision of our plan is to kick-off the transition to Semi-FIRE with a 6 week family road trip to 10 US National Parks.

You are going to be FIRE, you can spend 6 weeks in one National Park if you want!

We could, but none of us has traveled for that long before, so this is a test to see if we get homesick or not.  We are expecting to come home in time to plant a garden in 2018, but we could change our plans as we go! 

I'm looking forward to gardening and homestead activities on a more relaxed schedule, instead of fitting it in on evenings and weekends.  I expect it will feel like I have so much time to do what is needed instead of now, where I'm always playing catch up.  Maybe finally do some deferred maintenance and improvements.  The things that need doing require much more time than money.  But I intend to start those after decompressing and feeling relaxed, which could take many months.

Formally joining up in the 2018 cohort, coming over from 2017.  This is a big group!  Lots of the names are familiar from having moved up into the 2017 group part way through the year.

Welcome homestead neohio. Glad you could join us.

I am so excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My wife and I both let our management know we're planning to retire in May of 2018.

It's getting close!

I know it is common in some professions to give such large a notice, but with my employer? No way.

I'll give my clients at least 6 months notice before I stop working for them. They owe me zero notice to get rid of me and I owe them the same, but it seems unprofessional to do that to people that made my retirement possible with their business.

My Megacorp has a long history of declaring anyone retiring an "underperformer" and cutting their March bonus to zero. I  plan on giving  notice the day I see my bonus show up in my direct deposit.

Haha, that's exactly my plan as well.  And I'm planning on a standard 2 week notice unless it suits me to work a week or two longer at that point in time.   

As to the pre-FIRE allocation, I'm roughly at 65/35 stocks to fixed income.  Stocks are a mix if US and international.  Fixed income is bonds, a stable value fund, CDs, etc.

Since I don't really care what the exact date is, I'm giving ~6 months notice of the fact that I'm not working next summer.   If I can work it, a Leave of Absence for that time, then back to work during Fall, winter spring till end of 2019.

I'd be shocked if I got shown the door, but it would actually be a relief that I didn't have to actually resign/ retire.    The treadmill is pretty comfortable, mostly.

I'm officially a 2019-er, but at the moment the situation at work is such that I think I might throw in the towel in 2018. A change will be occurring in my workplace in October that could either improve my work life or make it completely unbearable. If it's the latter, I'll hand in my notice early (I need to give three months' notice) and provide a diplomatic explanation from the page headed It's Not You, It's Me.

But I'm only lurking just now. I'll shout up if I commit.

I hear you!

If all the living presidents, and the best of the ones who've already died self-resurrected themselves to personally thank me and my employer for my service to the nation on national TV, my odds of getting a bonus > $500 are less than winning the lottery.

At this point, I'm staying until May out of solidarity with my wife.  She's a professor and it would be very unprofessional to quit mid-school year.   Plus, they need time to recruit someone.

So, if they pushed me out early I would actually not mind. ;)

But it's not to their benefit to do so, especially if they can double-bill for awhile as I train the replacement.

Plus, I've offered to pop in and cover things for a short while if the DBA or my replacement leave, get run over by a bus, etc.   That's a real plus for them.   It's hard to get good IT talent to move here and good IT talent that's already in town already has a job. 

$9k+ per month for 1 to 3 months is a lot of fun money for the rest of the year, without having to draw down the stash in the early years, either.

Cautiously penciling myself (and DH) in for May 2018 when baby #2 is set to arrive. It's still early--hence the cautiousness--but I'm so excited. About 147 workdays, but who's counting...?

Had "the talk" with my boss.   

May-2018 look out, I'll be there before you know it!

Of course, I left the door open to help out during Fall 2018 through Spring 2019, so the IRP might be after me soon.

I was just  notified by my boss that my contract has been extended to March end 2018.

He also asked me to think about converting to an employee and he needs an answer in early January.

I am ready to hang up my gun and ride off into FIRE, but DW is panicking and wants to work one more year. Real dilemma here!

Any advice?

Without a full case study it would be hard to provide any specific advice about a complex decision like when you and your spouse should retire. I will just say that recently the number of people I know that have died or received life altering diagnosis or been in car accidents with life alter results has been startling. Perhaps that's just getting older and having your social network ageing with you? Regardless it keeps me focused on the fact that time is my most precious resource and that given a reasonable FIRE plan running out of money is not my primary concern....it's running out of time...particularly time with my health intact.

Maizeman's helpful illustration is something I refer to a lot.

One thing we overlook on this site is how challenging the emotional/psychological aspects of the transition to FIRE are. We have all been programmed to work by society so breaking that pattern is hard and we fixated on our fears....primarily running out of money. In that process we ignore arguably more important risks of continuing to work.

If both of you pulling the plug is too hard perhaps one of you can retire and then the other person can do so a year later? Another alternative is for one or both of you to shift to a reduced work week such that you are gaining significant amounts of free time, but not having to draw down your investment accounts. That could be a good middle ground to ease yourself into this major life change.

I suggest you tell him No. Because you will be having this discussion again before the end of March anyway.  Do not create an expectation of further work which you don't need.  Aren't you here from the 2017 thread already?  (I am, too.) 

Is DW freaking out because you are actually not financially ready (where more money would help), or because change is hard and delaying the change means she doesn't have to deal with it yet?  Because if it is the latter, there is a chance she'll never feel ready.  You should focus on what you need to feel ready, and when you get there, FIRE without continually pushing the bar higher via OMY.  Because then you are giving up years of your life to employment you don't need.  If your DW needs more time working to be emotionally ready to FIRE, this doesn't mean you also have to keep working if you are ready.

I read in a journal here recently a reminder that just because you are good at something and someone will pay you a lot of money to do it does not mean it is a good use of your limited time.

Good Advice, thank you.

Do not really need a case study for the following reason
  • Zero debt
  • Presently have 30x spending as FIRE assets (not counting house that we will live in or DS2 college education which we have put aside)
  • FIRE assets will be much more (2 income household) by June 2018 which is my planned FIRE date
  • My cFIREsim is showing 100% success rate.

BTW, This is not bare-bones annual FIRE spend but  very lavish spending. DW is not spendy but she went thru bad times growing up, so she is scared. I have showed her our holdings, our risk profile, how we will access retirement money with low taxes (detailed document), but it does not help.


I suggest you tell him No. Because you will be having this discussion again before the end of March anyway.  Do not create an expectation of further work which you don't need. 

Great idea. I think I will follow this path.

Definitely the latter. Money is not an issue, we have more than enough.

Good points.  I think she needs more time working to be emotionally ready. We might have to FIRE at separate times, waiting for her to get ready.

Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

I find it helps my DW to hear me acknowledge when things are big and scary, but I'm deciding to push ahead anyway because I've done my homework and am confident things will work out.  In my logical mind the confidence overcomes the feelings, but those feelings are down in the mix if I look for them.  She needs to hear that I have fears, too, and that she is not crazy when feeling afraid of a big change.  If you FIRE first, you are showing her the way, that despite some fears and concerns, it is good and it works.  Not sure if your DW is similar in this way, but thought I'd share in case it helps.

Yep, and despite my big talk, I'm shaky at the knees after letting my boss know my plans. 
Even though he took it really well.

At least my Dad was supportive "you'll find lots to do" , which sort of surprised me.
I thought he'd have some issues with my relative age.  But on the other hand, Dad's retirement has been really good for him.  If he had kept working, the stress was going to kill him in a few years.  17 years later, still going strong.

Moved myself forward a week.  Decided to be able to cover household chores and such while my wife finishes her last week of teaching and grading.

And I think it's time folks start putting down the days, not just the months, so I'll start!

And, being anal retentive, I put people into date order (with certainty coming before uncertainty) followed by alphabetical order.

Without a full case study it would be hard to provide any specific advice about a complex decision like when you and your spouse should retire. I will just say that recently the number of people I know that have died or received life altering diagnosis or been in car accidents with life alter results has been startling. Perhaps that's just getting older and having your social network ageing with you? Regardless it keeps me focused on the fact that time is my most precious resource and that given a reasonable FIRE plan running out of money is not my primary concern....it's running out of time...particularly time with my health intact.

Maizeman's helpful illustration is something I refer to a lot.

One thing we overlook on this site is how challenging the emotional/psychological aspects of the transition to FIRE are. We have all been programmed to work by society so breaking that pattern is hard and we fixated on our fears....primarily running out of money. In that process we ignore arguably more important risks of continuing to work.

If both of you pulling the plug is too hard perhaps one of you can retire and then the other person can do so a year later? Another alternative is for one or both of you to shift to a reduced work week such that you are gaining significant amounts of free time, but not having to draw down your investment accounts. That could be a good middle ground to ease yourself into this major life change.

Good Advice, thank you.

Do not really need a case study for the following reason
  • Zero debt
  • Presently have 30x spending as FIRE assets (not counting house that we will live in or DS2 college education which we have put aside)
  • FIRE assets will be much more (2 income household) by June 2018 which is my planned FIRE date
  • My cFIREsim is showing 100% success rate.

BTW, This is not bare-bones annual FIRE spend but  very lavish spending. DW is not spendy but she went thru bad times growing up, so she is scared. I have showed her our holdings, our risk profile, how we will access retirement money with low taxes (detailed document), but it does not help.


I suggest you tell him No. Because you will be having this discussion again before the end of March anyway.  Do not create an expectation of further work which you don't need. 

Great idea. I think I will follow this path.

Is DW freaking out because you are actually not financially ready (where more money would help), or because change is hard and delaying the change means she doesn't have to deal with it yet?  Because if it is the latter, there is a chance she'll never feel ready.  You should focus on what you need to feel ready, and when you get there, FIRE without continually pushing the bar higher via OMY.  Because then you are giving up years of your life to employment you don't need.  If your DW needs more time working to be emotionally ready to FIRE, this doesn't mean you also have to keep working if you are ready.

Definitely the latter. Money is not an issue, we have more than enough.

Good points.  I think she needs more time working to be emotionally ready. We might have to FIRE at separate times, waiting for her to get ready.

Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
Have you and your wife talked about contingency plans? As in, what happens if your investment balance dips below $X? And what is $X? Perhaps having a clear view of how to spot and fix a problem will help her. Especially because its likely a very small, short lived income would correct an early problem.

My last day teaching classes will be 4/20/18, but I will get paid through 6/30/18.  So I am focusing on the 4/20 date, because after that I will basically be free (except for grading final exams--which will be fine because I will be basically be ecstatic at that point!!!).

We moved our date to 6/1 to take advantage of one more month of employee health coverage. I also added my age. I noticed the 2017 FIRE cohort forum had everyone's age and I thought it was interesting to see when everyone is hitting their date.

I think SwordGuy is as OCD as me. I like the way he fixed the columns ;-)

I put font=courier in square brackets at the top of the list, and close the list with a /font in square brackets.
That way, all the letters are the same width so they can line up!

Yeah, I would do the same. But looks like others remove the font tag when they quote.

Interesting that no one wants to fire in September. I guess people want to retire in Spring/Early summer instead of in Fall.

I couldn't see working through a summer, which my favorite time of the year even in the burning hot desert that is Eastern Washington state.   
I'm tentatively planning semi-FIRE, with my fall, winter early spring "side gig" as essentially my current job.

If you give me $200K I'll retire right now! I'd be good with a Fall FIRE! ;)
