Excellent decision and outcome for us

OP. What is your status and current thinking on your potential retirement?
I originally would have ideally liked to try to retire early, but not sure what that would be like and if you would regret it later
Thanks for your response.

I recall when I was pre early etirement I had no concern that I might have regrets. Instead, my concern was — can I do this because it seemed odd to be leaving a profession during my peak earning years, at least it seemed odd to the masses. But I had some friends and family that had not followed the beaten path, and I valued independence*, so seeing that others could do it I knew that I could do it also. So I did. That was the big benefit for me of knowing of others’ experiences. That is to say, it can be done!
