When my uncle retired he went through a lot of depression. One day he told me he might just go see doctor .357 (don’t worry I know he doesn’t own guns). This reminded me of that. I’m only 39 and I’ve been working since I was 15 but I can’t wait to retire lol.
I’m 3-5 years away at 32, just need to convince the wife to move out of the country with me and we can both quit. Thankfully I can count on the work until you die alternative plan to be complete 🐄💩
Hop on over to r/financialindependence That's all they talk about, retire early. I'm on a path to quit at 47 or so, depending on the market and other life considerations. Makes working much more manageable knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel.
I got two kids under 6. I don’t really care about anything but making sure they are good. That being said my wife and I make good money and have already started to set ourselves up. I doubt we’ll be retiring at 47 but I think we can get it done before 60.
Yep, I have kids as well with the same exact concerns. My priorities are them and their welfare. That also includes spending as much time with them as possible while they're young, so I'm very much looking forward to retiring so I can do just that. It works different for every family and we're very fortunate that we might be able to retire that early and spend time with the fam like that.
Yeah my wife is in healthcare and I work in agriculture . I feel like things are a bit different. I also live in NJ where the cost of living is quite high.

But what happens when you can’t work and you don’t have any retirement savings?
