<prompt> Human: My wife and I have had the good fortune of living rent free for quite a long time in an inherited house and were subsequently able to save a substantial amount of money. Unfortunately we both hate our jobs and fields and would have to reinvent ourselves to find any sort of work that would be meaningful or rewarding.So it got us thinking... well got me thinking and Im trying to convince her... can we retire? Heres a bit about us:I am 40 and she is 42. We have a 1 year old child.So here are the details:We currently have 4 houses worth an approximate 2.8million according to zillow on which we owe 900k. We rent out 3 of the houses and reside in one. If we were to rent them all out it would bring in 6700 in rent AFTER mortgages are paid.We currently have the following on top of the 1.9 million in equity in the houses.500k in a schwab account being handled by an investment manager who charges 0.75200k in etrade accounts that I get to play withcombined 300k in 401k75k in savings and checkingwe have cars and such but those are insignificant.I feel like we could retire and move to an area with lower cost of living than we are currently living SF bay area We I am even open to moving to a different country. My wife says theres no way we could safely retire. Shes in corporate finance and is not even willing to crunch the numbers because she already knowsIm hoping some of you have given retirement a thought and can give me an idea of whether I am dreaming or if we could make it work... and I dont mean being frugal in every aspect of life to make it work. We amassed what we have by being frugal and risk adverse. I want to live a somewhat normal life... just one that doesnt involve going into the office. Any ideas? If we cant retire now at what point do you think we could?Feedback appreciated!!! edit: expenses we have the usual utilities, insurance, food, etc... plus the added expense of maintenance on 4 houses. This comes out to an average of 4k a month in expenses. We do not have any open accounts that have balances. The main concern is I dont know how to estimate budget for healthcare for a 1 year old child and schooling is another concern.  <response>: You have the ability to make 6,700 a month in passive rental income without working. Of course you can retire assuming your monthly expenses arent ridiculous.You could move to nearly any other city in the country and live very comfortably without having to work again.
