45 years old and three mil in the 401k?
What were you invested in! Haha.

It’s truly impossible to answer without knowing your yearly actual spend big amounts. While you may not know that for the future, you absolutely can figure that out for the right now. You can’t really make forecasts for SWR without a good understanding of that.

With $3 million in the bank and a $1500/month pension, you’re an idiot if you can’t figure out a way to quit the rat race.
At a minimum, work part time at a golf course or something for kicks.

Retirement age 53, starting 8 years from now.
Meh. Retire if you want to. You're ahead of 99% of folks, but you will be bored to tears within a year. I would plan it more of a transition to "Do what I want instead of working for money" and build some generational wealth until you get tired of that rat race.

“Has a lot more to do with your likely bond allocation”
I don’t have any bond investments other than Fidelity Puritan fund.
I’ve transitioned a lot of stocks in our IRA’s to dividend stocks and about $500 k into CD’s.
At 72 and 70,it’s what I feel comfortable with.

Yeah, at mid 50's you would be bored. Bored people die early, or spend money not to be bored. I would retire from that job if you can't stand it and do something you enjoy for less money to bridge to true retirement age.
Or, retire and them become an entrepreneur in your field and start your own business.
Mid 50's to when you die is a long time to live on a fixed income.

No way to stretch that out to 15 or 20 years?

You think an 8% average market return is rosy?
For someone 8 years from retirement after the last decade of returns we’ve seen? Yes, I think 8%, even in all equities, over the next 8 years would be well above expectations.
ETA- CAPE would suggest ~5% +/- 1.5% over the next decade.

Retired last year at 45 not bored yet. 2 kids and a new house keep us busy. Haven't had much time to dive deep into hobbies and travel yet. Finally got time to take care of health and fitness.

$90,000 seems really high.
I just looked it up. The people I know work at a place where they can do the following:
61k in 401a
22.5k in 403b
22.5k in 457
That’s actually over 100. Plus if they are older there is more space for “catch ups”.

You’re gonna starve between 53 and retirement age, baw. Better sock away some non 401k savings.

You also have to understand some on here think you need $5M plus at 65 to have a "comfortable" retirement. With your numbers you can do that if you want to. Have a hobby though.
As with any polling, throw out the high and the low and look more to the middle to get an accurate response.

shite, you're right. It's actually $66,000 for the 401a.

401(a) Plans
The total contribution limit for 401(a) defined contribution plans under section 415(c)(1)(A) increased from $66,000 to $69,000 for 2024. This includes both employer and employee contributions.
I couldn't imagine that someone working a job high enough, and likely stressful enough, would be able to pre-tax over $100,000 and not need the take home but what do I know. I guess my wife does about $50,000'ish pre-tax with Pension, 403b, and 457.

It’ll happen eventually. Make sure you’re exercising your mind

We have the option of getting in about $182k between 401k with profit share/match/after tax, rollover Roth, and defer comp. Gives a lot of options for retirement since you can get about $34k a year in after tax regardless of income. Should allow good control of income tax in retirement years.

I knew some folks putting that away in an academic medicine department with those accounts.

Good point. Some of those folks are probably close to $1M. If living a FIRE / WCI lifestyle, they very well may be.
So glad my wife chose pediatrics...
