Eric there from the Mid-Atlantic. So a little bit of background.

Eric and I turned 54 this year.

We're both professionals, a high-stress job.

And I'm actually committed to the concept of fine.

There's some other things I'd like to do with my life experience and talent.

And as we start looking at that transition,

our final kid will be in college. We wanted to do a check because we don't want to do something

dumb. And we have been really boring, you know, you tell us to save, you know, 30% of our net

income and dollar cost average and put it in an

index fund, well, that's what we've done. And so now we want to kind of give you the snapshot

and what do we measure now going forward that we're transitioning? Okay. That's fantastic. So

tell us about your income level. So you said you're both in high stress jobs. So let's start with UK. How much do you earn? About 225. Wow. All right. And are you maxing out your retirement contribution? Yes. And are you doing the catch up also? So the extra money because you're over the age of 50. Yes. All right.

Fantastic. How much money is in your retirement account? So the 401k's total for Eric and myself,

about 2.5 million. Whoa. That's going far in the middle of the Atlantic coast. All right. And Eric is also maxing out

his retirement, presumably. How much does Eric make? $1.75. Is there other money besides the

retirement assets that you've sucked away? Yeah. So we have about $2.1 million in a brokerage account.
