Congrats Linda
We’ll fly back to Australia for XMas and then On my return I need to hand in my notice.
I am still really struggling with this, even though I don’t see me changing my mind.
I feel a lot of trepidation about the future.
Like you, we need to sell our expensive inner city house and use the proceeds to help fund our FIRE.
We haven’t seen our house for more than 5 years, as we have been living abroad, so are expecting to have to make some repairs before selling. Hopefully not too much.
Repatriating will also come at a cost. Not just moving but also costs like having to buy a car, maybe some furniture etc.
It is a little difficult to know what our precise financial position will be by the time the move, house sale, and move again is behind us..... oh and our repatriation will include a nine month global holiday before we even get home 😁
That all said, our stash is fairly sizable by MMM standards so we should feel we can proceed with confidence, but with so many unknowns about the future (where will we be living, what will we do with all our time, will we regret not having worked a year or 2 more to pad the stash) it does give cause to some restless nights.
One step at a time for now....
