My advice would be, tough it out. Quit eating out and start saving 20% of your salary. Invest it wisely. Ten years from now, your sentence will be up, and you'll be ready for the Villages.

I strongly disagree!! If the OP has the financial ability and good health to retire at age 56, then he should do it. Tomorrow is not promised for anyone!! Don’t live to work, work to live!! Move to TV and have fun, find a little P/T gig to give you some spending money and enjoy life while you are still on this earth to do so!! I retired at age 50 and don’t regret one minute of it.
