[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure you can afford it. I would hold off for a sec though. You want to be able to answer clearly: What are you retiring TO. Common advice is to get specific about what you’re retiring TO - not just what you want to retire FROM. This will keep you from being my formally high-powered neighbor, who retired early, did some traveling and volunteering … at first. And now just blows leaves off of his grass yard obsessively. I do mean obsessively.  He’s my living early retirement plan cautionary tale. [/quote]
I’ve always heard this too, but now that I think of it, all the people I know or have heard about adjusting poorly to retirement though they have sufficient funds are (1) men; and (2) Boomer generation or older.

Is that just me? Have others noticed this being problem with retired women as well?[/quote]

Of course it would be boomers and older since those are the majority of retirement aged Americans. Retired women usually have more balanced lives and are the social directors of their house. [/quote]
