Very rare for an advisor to tell you to retire early unless he / she has the potential of getting more of your money. Example - do you have a 401 K ? Does he or she recommend moving it to somewhere else under their control ? I also retired early - age 53 with a bridge to 55. More than several of my friends took the same package as I. Two items I can offer from experience to you .If you have a good 401K plan do not move it. My buddies who did are sorry they did - once out you can't go back. There will be plenty of time in the future to explore that option. Two be careful of medical plan promises. Our employer ( a fortune 500 company) reneged on their promise to us and from 55 to 65 it was by far our biggest expense. On the plus side - retire early - best thing I ever did.
