Retire as early as you can and if you have your health you can do whatever you like. Besides you may spend less money while at home. At work you have so many deductions such as, parking, SEFA, employees asking for donations, etc. I will have 36 years when I'm 55. I do not plan to stay until 65 or 67. I want the time and chance to do as I please.

This is bad advice since it will leave more money for the inheritors,the government , and financial advisors . Retire early and enjoy life.

At 63, I've seen many who planned and saved for retirement,but the lights went out either just before retirement or shortly there after!Life expectency is a gamble, some win, but many more lose!

This a good article, however I don't know if it is useful in light of the number of people ( significant older people) are forced out of work through job layoffs, fired , downsized and pressure from the job to do more. Perhaps an article on how to survive after you lost your job with new insights on how to exist might be more helpful.
Thank you,

Cant spend it if you are dead and the nursing home will get any savings. Retire as soon as you can while you are healthy! No amount of money can buy that time back!
