My dad retired at 55 and it seems they're busier than they ever have been 15 years later. . As Sam says if you played your cards right and are financially able, good to do it. My dad did well for himself and planned his whole life for it. 7 days a week in the family business and almost never a day off for many many years he and my mom deserved it. Unfortunately my mom came down with cancer shorty after and we almost lost her. That turned a light on and my dad ended up realizing how short life was and then it was on. They have accomplished most things on a "bucket list" and then some. It's nice to see the "new him" that has enjoyed life and time with his grandkids and doing things like traveling the country and it's great to spend some quality time with them being snowbirds as I never really did growing up. You paid your dues now time to have some fun!
