6 Events That Could Trigger Your Retirement

I prefer the events that are by choice rather than forced! Unfortunately the world is not always cooperative with layoffs and health problems ambushing an otherwise well planned life and retirement. I am a big believer in making the move to retirement once you have achieved financial independence. When you have what you need to live comfortably and without stress, stop. Don't keep on working to build the nest egg beyond what you need. All that sweat and stress and effort to add $$ takes you away from spending time enjoying yourself. And as we age, we never know just how long we have to be healthy and able to enjoy our lives to their fullest. Do it now!
