Should I pull the plug and RE?

  • Today my investments are 0.5% away from 3% withdrawal rate to equal expected spending
  • Am invested ~50% in growth funds, 43% in S&P, 7% in bonds and money market
  • If I work, I'll earn ~7% of my NW per year

Have you factored in old age costs? Lawn care or household help when it gets to be too much for you to handle on your own. I didn't factor that and am now thinking I will regret that as I'm currently watching my mom start to decline and need more help.

Also increasing medical costs is part of the equation I guess. Aging is a pain. Hence I'm trying to balance retirement with some life left vs earning some more to make things smoother. Having said that, I sort of did take that into account.
