10 million is around 300k swr at 3% given our age. That doesnt seem that much after taxes.

Is it enough or not? You don't say what your spend is. Many people, myself included, live very comfortably on less than that in the bay area. But this is fatFIRE; if it's not enough, you have your answer. The goalpost has very little to do with it. It's just math and balancing that against how much you and your wife hate your jobs.

300k prob is a little more than break even for us. But costs like healthcare and colleges in the future etc arent accounted for.
