My turn has come!
Yesterday was my (39f) last day at work. It hasn't been very stressful for a long time and I was full WFH, so can't say it's some giant relief, but exciting nevertheless.
My husband (41m) will FIRE in three weeks (can't say no to that last vesting!). We are over our FIRE number, not including a fully paid off house that we also just paid to completely renovate from top to bottom. As we had planned to have a mortgage or rent at our original FIRE number, we are feeling very good. This excess is due to the strong market & making a change to our moving plans which kept us working for an additional year while we figured out what was best for us.
Now we are driving 14 hours to drop some belongings at my parents' house before moving abroad where we have purchased a house.
We have three young children ages 2, 4 and 6. Maybe more exciting than being finished with work is being done with daycare bills as where we are moving has public schools starting at 2.5.
Cheers to all who are on the journey, the end does come at some point - or maybe it's really just a new beginning.
