Well, it's finally gonna happen

I retired at age 50, 24 years ago. I observed a number of top executives drop dead before 65. It's not for everyone unless you have a plan to fill in from the work life. I lost my wife of 52 years and am so glad we had many good years without work together

It ain't easy...

A good friend retired very comfortably years ago at 27 years old. He came out of retirement at 30 and went on to start dozens of businesses and is now a merger/acquisition consultant-still working part time at 70 years old. He told me that more people working their asses off for retirement die going up the mountain than coming down the mountain. I asked him then why he's still working. His answer was, "This isn't work to me, it's damn fun!"
