Every calculation I run says we have more than enough but it feels uncertain.

This for me too.

I realize it’s the legacy of strict Calvinism in my upbringing (you should NEVER assume that ANY amount is enough).

We also have pretty deep resources in our extended family, not that we plan to personally use them but my siblings are not ever going to need money from me.

Both of our careers are intellectually and socially engaging to us and we are both still on top of our games at them (he said modestly...)

If that substantively changes, it’ll be time to check out or check down to a lesser role.

We’re both still in our fiddies.
