That’s great. It’s never a bad thing if it’s what you want. Unfortunately I’ve had several friends that kept putting off retirement and passed away still at work. One was 57, the other 64. Both had more than enough to live well.
And as I’ve mentioned before, my mother passing at a early age probably also influenced my decision. I know I started planning for retirement back when I was 40. And my wife was a good saver and also on board.
