Unexpected FIRE. Retirement guidance/tutorials?
Merdox:
So I've been keeping my head down and grinding for so long that FIRE kinda snuck up on me and I decided to finish out this year then quit my firm, but I don't have any of the nuts and bolts of retirement figured out. Just assume I'm the most ignorant Mustachian here. For quick background, I'm a lawyer and I'll be looking to write some appeals freelance next year to generate a little bit of income so I can avoid dipping into my stash as much as possible. Any step-by-step guidance (or accessible explainer links) for things like health insurance, investment withdrawal, taxes, and anything else I'll have to deal with would be appreciated. TIA!
Financial.Velociraptor:
Basically, you have given way too little information for anyone to make useful recommendations. There is however an entire forum dedicated to this: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/case-studies/. Start with the sticky thread at the top and then start your own case study thread. You'll get lots of solid advice.

The sticky checklist https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/post-fire/pre-fire-checklist/ is a good start
G-dog:
Read Dr. Doom’s withdrawal strategy posts (LivingAFI).
Also, Google search works better on MMM than the internal search function. So a google do MMM + specific question will help you find some info. Strategies may depend on your age, portfolio, etc.
