As I’ve always mentioned in these threads, it is MUCH more beneficial for OP to introduce his situation and seek feedback rather than a blind poll.

Good post. Have an upvote. I mean people asks a question and if you got shite and answer honest you get shite on. If you're broke and trying to get some advice, you get shite on. Take that shite to the OT or back to your fatass wife and your miserable life. If you think I'm talking to you...I am. (not to poster I'm replying to. Well thought out and excellent post)

It’s a very unrepresentative cross-section and accomplishes nothing for the OP unless he fits these categories. As I’ve always mentioned in these threads, it is MUCH more beneficial for OP to introduce his situation and seek feedback rather than a blind poll.

I appreciate the replies, and I do find a lot of benefit reading about other’s successes.

I’m around 10 years from retirement, and I find that while I’m good at the saving part of retirement planning, I’m not very good at determining goals and changing plans.

I have $2.4M in retirement funds and $800K in post tax accounts. My original goal was $5M in liquid retirement funds by age 60. I think I’ll achieve my original goal, but now need to decide to either retire earlier than planned or increase the goal. While I don’t love everything about my job, there are certain aspects that I greatly enjoy, and I’m very good at a highly technical, specialized job that pays me well. I’ve worked my whole career to get to this point, and have guilt about giving it up before I planned to.

Consulting financial advisors are useless in my opinion, and I’ve started seeking advice from others that have faced a similar situation.
