[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few people who in their early 40's inherited a lot of money and decided to retire. Strangely, they don't seem very happy as they don't seem to have a real purpose or goals in life. Instead of being at the peak of their careers they live a very sedentary life style more like someone 65+. Yes, some early retirees are able to refocus their time on things they love but many just seem to drift. I'd love to inherit a lot of money but before I would retire I'd need to have a new plan in place to keep me growing and developing. [/quote]

You have no idea who’s happy and who isn’t, as recent events make clear.

Sincerely,

Retired Young with $$ and I Don’t Do Sh*t and I’m EXTREMELY Happy[/quote]

You must be an inspiration to your kids. "Hey Billy, what does your Dad (or Mom) do'? "Oh, they're rich and don't do sh*t." [/quote]

My kids are all grown up, out of college, and gainfully employed doing what they want to do.  They don’t want, need, or seek inspiration from me.  And they’re happy for me.  To be clear, I didn’t inherit.  I earned.

I’m just betting that the PP who feels sorry for the sad early retirees is actually feeling another emotion:  jealousy. [/quote]
