[quote=Anonymous]A different perspective! I could have retired at around 52 but I still had two kids in HS so what was I going to do in retirement? I had no desire to hang around with guys in their late 60s and 70s. Our college accounts were fully funded and we had plenty for health care, our retirement, whatever. But I felt I was too young to retire so I went back to work. I finally retired from full time at 61 but I still work part time and I have plenty of time for fun, travel etc. Our net worth is likely 3x what it would have been if I fully retired at 52 and that means my kids and grandkids have a big safety net if needed. If the stock market drops 20% I’m not going to lose any sleep and that is the ultimate luxury for far exceeding what you think you need. [/quote]
