<prompt> Human: Heres my story. I havent stalked PersonalFinance for a while so Im not sure if my situation is rare here, but Im not trolling and can provide proof. Just looking for advice from other real people and not a 1.5year fake expert.- Im 35, married- Wife and I both make about 150kyr, total 300k- Have 2.5m in money put aside. 1.5m in stock and bond, 1m in interest bearing accounts- Have a mortgage for 1m, comfortable APR, the interest on the 1m pays for the mortgage payments were paying just the interest, not the principal- I may get 1-3m more in the next couple years from another investment.So, heres the point: my first kid is coming and I want to retire to be a stay at home dad in Sweden. I may be able to do some consulting work etc that may make me 20-40kyear but thats it this will be in SwedenEurope. Wife will continue working.Whats your advice? Im not frugal, but Im not a big spender. Dont have a car, big TV, stuff, but I enjoy traveling once a year at least.Whats your advice?  <response>: You may want to crosspost to rfinancialindependence for early retirement advice.Not sure why you have a 1m mortgage that youre only paying interest on, not principal. That seems like a huge liability. But if you may get 1m-3m more from another investment in future, I suppose you could consider the mortgage less troublesome.Cant really answer your question about being a SAHD and retiring early without knowing anything about your spending. Thats the key factor in any early retirement or semi-retirement situation. Wife will continue working. Will she be in Sweden with you?Being able to do consulting work is obviously a plus, if its something you can squeeze in at the same time as doing daycare for the kid.Read the Mr Money Mustache blog for more ideas about the benefits of being there to raise your kid, working on your own terms, etc.I dont know anything about costs of living in Sweden and how that will work out for you. Do you expect to just use a term-limited visa? Or do you have dual citizenship?
