If you can afford to retire early then do it. I am grateful that I was able to retire at age 58 and then spend the next 20 years in a very active physically challenging life style. I have friends that are so sorry that they did not do the same and found out too late that taking up Scuba Diving at age 70 just doesn't cut it, or kyacking, wind surfing, bungy jumping, walking the golf course and even sailing. Your body isn't going to stay 25 years old forever. It's been 23 years that I have been retired and gave up golf last year because I like to walk the course and my knees are not what they once were and my balance is not what it once was either. So now at 81 I just walk, play Boccee & Petanque and am grateful that I don't need a cane or walker (YET).
