Thinking of Retiring Early?
Are you thinking of retiring early? Read this article with care and then consider crawling back on the bicycle. If one is retiring before “social security” age, be sure you have saved a sufficient amount to last even if you require full-time medical care. Assume that care will run between $70,000 and $100,000 per year in today’s dollars.
Workers who truly enjoy their job and find pleasure in going to work every day really have no need to retire early unless there is another passion waiting in the wings. Don’t retire too early as it is difficult to get back into the work force once one leaves.
