Retiring early or not?

My dear colleague, 60, is retiring this Christmas. In his own words 'It is the end of my working life and I shall now spend more time with friends and family.

This couple retired at the age of 30 after investing a considerable amount of money in private pension,
giving them sufficient return to sustain themselves for next x years. They can now focus on the projects they want to work on rather than working for any corporation as an employee.

He is 75 and would not stop creating and innovating. Retiring is out of the question. It keeps him young at heart and sharp in his thoughts.

'Should you retire early or not?'is not the right question to ask
The question should be 'Why retiring?'

Retiring is not dissimilar to quitting when it is chosen or getting fired when it is imposed.

Better quitting early to follow dreams of a lifetime... better not retiring when you are already living the dream...
