Between my DH and I:
Mortgage: 70k (bought house for 100K)
Assets: ~200k in the form of IRAs, 401Ks, cash and non-retirement Vanguard Index Funds
Combined gross annual incomes combined: 97k
We have no debt aside from our mortgage
My DH is 33 and I am 27 and we are both burnt out at our high stress jobs. We figure that there's a limited amount of time that we will be childless, healthy, able-bodied, and alive and we don't know how long that will be. We originally planned to FIRE but we are increasingly interested in hatching a plan to work/save until like June 2016, rent out our house for hopefully $900/month and slow travel for a year. We have friends and family around the US we'd like to stay with, airline miles to use from credit card churning, and sites we'd like to see. Then we imagine we'll come back to live in our home after a year and get PT jobs doing whatever, maybe contracting work for DH and I might just work at the Whole Foods. True FIRE just seems so far off and like I mentioned, we are both in stressful professions (social work and architectural engineering) and we're burnt out and looking for a change of scenery. I know we would be fine but it's hard to muster the courage to really take a leap like this. Is this an ill-conceived plan?
