early retirement..

I filed for an early retirement one year and 3 months ago. I had a lot of debts that I wanted to pay from my retirement pay so I used the early retirement option. I wanted to start clean with my life, no bad credits, no problems. I just got lucky that I found another source of income from online jobs. Another reason for the early retirement is to be free with my own time. I don't want to retire when I am old and bent with no more enjoyment for life. I wanted to have some taste of freedom, of being able to do what I want when I need to, something I never enjoyed for the past 20 years of my life. Enjoy life while you can, travel, have fun.

There are many reasons for an early retirement. Some retire early while in their early fifties in order to have a peaceful life away from the stress filled jobs. They make use of the early retirement options in order to be able to travel and do the things they were not able to perform during the working time.Some retire due to poor health when they can no longer perform the job fully. Others prefer to start a small business of their own where they can be their own boss. Retirement needs preparation and careful planning.Some cannot afford to retire due to financial circumstances.Some just cannot survive without being busy all day.Each of us have our own reasons but definitely you will be the one making the decision. There is always a life after retirement and I have proven that to myself. I now have the peace of mind and the free time to do what I have always craved for without having to take a leave of absence. I am now my own boss.

Seems too young to stop working but if you have better plan then why not go for it.
