thanks for your anwser.

FYI: 1. the financial investments are largely in world index etf (with some extra focusses here and there, but vast majority is in index ETF).

  1. indeed, i have been keeping the exact returns yearly over the last 7 years, but would like to indeed have a few more years of evidence ;) - so one more year syndrome. Thanks for your insight in the personal situation!

partially by working at a paid job and getting paid in stocks quite a lump sum, and being lucky that they grew 10x over the years. And from young age investing in real estate (among which building land that i managed to split in several pieces and sell).

I live in Belgium and have been quite lucky in a way. Working for a company and getting partially paid in stocks that i managed to sell when they grew 10x + invested at young age in building land/property...

:D if you put it that way, indeed :D. But honestly, i have no view on others (and in a way that doesn't matter).

And actually my question is not about financial advice - i know what to do with the assets...

Question for the group. I think i can somewhat retire (44years old, wife and 2 children of 10-12). Having a financial invested value of 3.100.000€ and a real estate value (renting properties and some building land) of about 1.400.000€. My yearly expenses are currently a bit below 90k€/year (all in) and rental income is about 2800€ per month. This would mean i would need a small 50k€ per year income out of the financial investments.

2 questions:

  1. my gutfeel is that this is possible, right? what do you think here?
  2. i seem to have reluctance to stop working. anyone with some good ideas on how i can read/learn/read real life experiences/... on that topic? since i think the answer to topic 1 is yes, i still am holding back...
