I've got three numbers basically, for a frugal, normal, and lavish retirement. I'm past frugal and should meet normal within 5 years or so. I have a small number of employee shares in my company which is planning to go public in 3-5 years.
So my plan is to ride it out - by then I'll have reached "normal" through my regular savings, and if the IPO is successful, would beam me straight into lavish territory. If not, I'll just stick to what I have and call it a day. Never been a big spender anyway.
Congrats, that's super exciting! It must feel really good knowing you could quit at anytime if you wanted to, and you would know precisely what your standard of living would look like if you do.
