I was just informed that my contract would not be renewed beyond the end of the year.
I was dead set on FIRE'ing before DS went off to college in August and so, I had marked the end of June 2018 as my FIRE date. As I have been FI for a couple of years, I had made up my mind to FIRE if my contract was not renewed.
Technically, my last day of work is Dec 29th, but I strongly identify with the 2018 cohort, that I plan to make my FIRE date as 1/1/2018 ;-)
I have mixed emotions, happy but also scared. I expect this is normal.
Wish me luck ....
