I agree with buggyone, I'd want to carefully think about your priorities and see if there is a reasonable way to retire earlier and save your heart the stress. I highly recommend "How to Retire the Cheapskate Way" by Jeff Yeager to help evaluate what's really important to you and to do a reality check about what you really need to retire. If you decide it's not possible yet, do what I do, spend tons of time on here dreaming and planning. The stresses of today are more easily dealt with when you have a vision for tomorrow. Go on and start preparing for TV. Start downsizing your stuff. Think about decorating your future home and selling furnishings that are too big or not the right style for your vision of a FL home. Oh, and take every vacation day you have coming! My wife was sitting on something like 20 vacation days, some carried forward from previous years, when she got laid off. Don't be more committed to your company than they are to you. My 2¢
