[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retired people generally are:
- Relatively old
- Have similar aged retired people to hang out with 
- Have kids that are grown up and moved out
- Feel content in what they've accomplished in life

Unless those things are true it's pretty unpleasant to retire.

We're late 30s with way more than $5M, but what would we do with our time if we retired? We're relatively young, our kids are still in school for 10+ more years, and our friends all still work. We also feel like we can do interesting things in our jobs and get paid a lot of money for it. So we both continue to work.

Also fwiw $5M is not very much to stop working at an early age. The Trinity study wasn't looking at 50 years of retirement, and a family of 4 living on $150k is not much when you consider that most people who reach $5M before retirement age probably made a lot more than that.[/quote]

You're only in your 30s still.  Your kids are still in school for many years.  You're in high paying jobs and [b]clearly love making money[/b].  It's still a driver for you.  You have no context and no mindset for assessing the circumstances under which it's "unpleasant" to retire.  It's a wholly foreign concept for you.

I'm 46 with 25M and I'm not stopping here. I agree with everything the younger poster said.

You can "agree" all you want and it's your life.  But what you can't do is speak for others.[/quote]
