Same here, and I have not regretted it a bit !

The benefits have eroded, and I don't get pension increases, but I walked away form a very stressful job.

More time to take care of my wife, who has a chronic illness, but no regrets about the early retirement.

My wife's need for some specialists, along with leaving doctors who know her "inside and out," is what's holding us back.
