[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, not with kids that young as I believe it sets a bad example. I could have retired at 52 but I had two kids in HS and I had no desire to hand around the house or hang out with old people. So I worked until I was 60 and tripled my net worth. [/quote]

And wasted eight years of your life working when you didn’t have to.[/quote]

I’m 62 and still working even though we have $14m NW. I like working, and don’t consider it a waste. I’m at the peak of my career (took longer as a working woman to get here) and make over $1m/year. I will work for 2-3 more years before dialing it way back but may continue to dabble in work until 70. Some people do great with early retirement but I’ve also seen some who flounder and age more quickly mentally post retirement. [/quote]

I hope for your sake that you live long past 70 and have mental and physical health to allow you to enjoy your life when you are relieved of the burden of working. I think you may realize it is an amazing gift to be able to do that. [/quote]

But who says I am not enjoying life now? I don't equate working with not enjoying life. I enjoy my work. I spend the summer at my beach house (working remotely, but still enjoying it), travel internationally and domestically, see my adult kids regularly. [/quote]
