European expat in the UAE here. After about 10 years of investing, I am finally planning to retire early this year.
Car and house are fully paid, zero debt, and dividends now cover our living expenses. Portfolio is mostly Irish domiciled funds, primarily FGQI, with a smaller allocation to JEPQ to boost the yield, both on the LSE.
Posting to share the milestone and compare notes with others on early retirement and income focused portfolios, especially from a non US perspective.
I’m also quite scared to actually pull the trigger, I am fairly successful at my job and might first reduce number of working days per week.
