3 Reasons Not to Retire Early
These days, early retirement is all the rage. Read the news, and you'll see stories of folks in their 30s, 40s, and 50s touting the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). And it's easy to see why that concept holds so much appeal. Retiring early should, in theory, let you reclaim control of your life. Rather than report to a boss, you'll get to report to yourself. Your days will be yours to spend as you choose, and you won't have to wait till you're older and in worse health to do the things you've always dreamed of.
It's a nice idea if you really have the money for it. But saving enough to retire early is easier said than done. Even if you're willing to make major lifestyle sacrifices to amass a substantial amount of savings, that may not solve all of your future problems. Here are a few reasons you really shouldn't retire early -- even if you're convinced you can afford to.
