Whatever makes you happy is most important.

Yep, 100%. Some people love their job/career as a definition of their identity. It is a choice after all.

I am appreciative of my career and an honest self-assessment is that I out-punted my coverage. I barely graduated high school because I wasn't engaged. It took me way too many years to "grow up." My career started five years later than most normal people, and then crap started clicking. I couldn't have predicted where I am now back then and its way beyond my best case scenario all things considered. I do my best to count my blessings.

All that said, I've darn near sold my soul to my employer in terms of time and work-life balance, and the impact on my health. My work shouldn't define who I am - as a personal belief. I need enough time not working to prove that. Hence the desire to retire early. I'll have helped enough people along the way IMO that I'll have nothing left in the tank to add value with. 55-65 is going to be me being available for my family as much as humanly possible. They deserve it.

I used to be a great teacher - thoughtful assignments, high standards, earning an A was quite challenging, earning an F was quite possible, forcing students to redo sloppy work and come in before scho

This part is exactly me. I was enrolled, but barely ever attended, in 4 colleges in 4 years lol

My experience in the larger firm legal profession is that your highest earning years are from the middle to the end of your career and most don't want to leave money on the table.   We have to throw partners out at 65.   Most don't want to retire.

Yup. Many law firms / corporations have mandatory scale-down then retirement by age X. But other firm/companies will scoop those guys up

A nice late august rally and the 401k is into the clubhouse at 16% YTD. I hope @Robhuntandfish didn’t sell everything!

lol.  Nope been locked in.  Gotta check it and see what its running.  I was running 9.2 prior 3 months and 11 YTD.  But i am in a little more conservative program since i have less than 10 years to retire. 

update - just checked it - YTD 13.09.  !  Anything over 5 for the next few years i should be good

It’s easier  to hit those numbers when you’re young . Mrs Nomads 401, which is our largest holding , domestic stocks ytd 35%, foreign 25% ,but being balanced the bonds at 1.5% , with a 60/40 balance stock/bond drag the numbers down .

Luckly for myself , instead of bonds, I’m in the general acct. of my deferred comp. and it’s paying close to 4% I haven’t checked my stock holdings, but our farm land is raising nicely .
