My wife and I retired at 57. Three years ago. We have seen too many people work until they were 65 then got too sick to enjoy retirement or die soon after retirement (very sad). We were in a position to retire so we did. We also started traveling often at a young age so that we would be able to. Too many people wait too long and are not able to travel when they retire as they planned. My heart goes out to them. We suck it up and pay the insurance premiums. We are currently building a home in TV and will be frogs soon. My advise is to live every day like it's your last, leave nothing unsaid to those that you love and have fun! But be sure that you are financially secure enough before you make the plunge.
