Hi MMM friends and fellow 2020 retirees!
I know it's been a long time since I've last posted, but it's been a crazy year and I honestly haven't been on the computer very much at all since I FIRE'd. But, I just wanted to give everyone an update.
So, I took a buyout from my agency in mid-Nov. 2019; however, continued to get paid until January 2020. Then, I actually was hired to do some consulting work, which lasted until mid-March 2020. I've been really enjoying FIRE since then while the market has been on an absolute tear. I also have a significant amount more than the day I stopped working (it's amazing :0).
So, here's where I currently stand as of today:
* MS brokerage - 1,160,100 (which includes a balanced portfolio of stocks, about 215,000 in an annuity and 60,000 in cash)
* 401K - 668,900
* Checking - 20,200
* Savings - 118,200
* CD - 100,000
TOTAL - 2,067,400
Now, I realize that the market is at an all-time high currently, but FIRE-ing when I did was one of the greatest decisions I ever made in my life. If anyone is on the fence, I say go for it. I haven't missed work, the office or anything associated with my job for even a millisecond.
Hope everyone is doing well and let's hope the market keeps cooperating!
Cheers,
-bee
