I'm 39 and am at FI by most people's standards. Its long been my plan to retire in the next five years. Lately I've been giving serious consideration to leaving in the next year or two. So my planning, which has always been pretty thorough, has taken on a new level of seriousness.
Maybe this is just cold feet, but it seems to me there's something particularly scary about jumping so early. Its easy enough to put '50 years' into firecalc, but is it really that simple? What about the geopolitical risks involved in planning for half a century? I know fire-calc takes that into consideration indirectly, but still - I'm imagining my equivalent in 1910 with his slide rule and paper saying "yeah, I should be good", without having a clue what kind of havoc would be brought on in the next 4 decades.
Has anyone here pulled the trigger very early? If so, can you share your thoughts and experiences?
