More power to you Susie. That’s personal choice and it’s what freedom is all about.

I retired at 54 and am 62 now and I love every day of it. I am as busy as I want to be and I don’t need an alarm clock.

If you have enough $$ to sustain yourself to whatever age you live, I say that’s super. My husband is in the trust business, so I know that most people do not have the financial wherewithal to retire that early. If you planned well tho, more power to you. It has not always even been something people imagined. They worked until they either died or could not work. If they were lucky they had family who would take care of them. If not....

I’d like to have about a million when I retire—not for living in opulence but living off the interest and financial security. Might be able to pull it off by age 60 if possible and favorable ROI.
