[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am taking my company’s buyout offer at age 56. I think it will be quite difficult to secure a high level position and want more clarity about whether I can retire now. Looking for a financial planner that can help me assess this. High earning professional (not too high), three kids in college, investment properties, mortgages, wife works part time, healthy 401k balance and so on. Probably not much different from most of you. If this were an easy task I’d do it myself but there are some nuances. Any DMV referrals appreciated. [/quote]

No. You be a fool to retire. Why? You have the shelf life of two day old milk at 56. Right now you are young enought to land a job, might be a bit of a step down or a start up. But you easily could ride that a bit then retire.

FY I got laid off a a high paid job at 54, after a lot of work looking got a bigger job that lasted till I was 57. Then I got a ok good job at 57 that lasted till amost 59 when I left by choice and now I am in a good job again

Retirement age is 67 you arse 11 years away. I think you can retire early but early to me is at least 60.        [/quote]
dp.. I don't enjoy working anymore, and my spouse is six years older than me.  I want to retire while I'm still pretty healthy and active so I can travel a lot, so I plan on retiring at 56 when my youngest goes off to college.

[quote]The researchers found that the gap between lifespan and health span is growing. While the global lifespan increased by more than six years between 2000 and 2019, the health span only increased by five years, meaning one of those extra years was lived in poor health. Globally, the gap between lifespan and health span is over nine years.

The statistics in the U.S. are starker. In fact,[b] the U.S. has the most significant lifespan-health span gap of more than 12 years. This means that if the average American lives to age 77, health issues begin affecting their life by age 65[/b].[/quote]
