I retired at 56 and never looked back . . . the secret is to have friends and keeping busy. In TV there are so many things to do sometimes I have to schedule my week completely in advance but what you do depends on your health. I've thought about helping out with the AARP tax program but playing pickleball, tennis and golf each day and then shooting pool,working out at the gym or going biking leaves me with little to no time. My son said just keep doing what your doing dad until you're too old to do it then work part-time. Financial affairs are a personal matter depending on what it cost you to live but I just bought a courtyard villa cash as an investment (banks are paying nothing and the market is rocky) and just renting it 4 months a year buts me ahead.
