That's awesome, congrats! I'm 45 now and it seems like such a long way to go yet.
Hopefully, I can make it work to retire "young" as well. Good luck!
I'm 51 now, shooting for 55 to invoke the 401k "rule of 55", but we'll see.
I've also thought about the "Rule of 55" but I don't want to keep the money in my current kplan, and get myself into the 72t's. Plus, if I go that early I won't be able to do what I want and that's a major house remodel, getting our home to what we exactly want. But at 59, I'll be able to do that without an issue.
Get me to 59 and that's what I want.
