Hey yall,
I am young and about to enter the work force.
Can somebody please tell me why retiring in your late-40s/early-50s is so appealing to so many of you?
From my perspective (albeit a relatively uninformed one), aren't you checking out before your number is drawn? That is the time in which your earning potential is at its highest. Also, your job satisfaction should also be at its highest because you have peaked in your chosen profession. Retiring in my late-40s as a senior-managment (partner, or whatever your title is) would seem like a big mistake.
Also, with people living longer and longer... doesn't retirement get boring. I get bored on 3-day weekends (well not really, but a week or two and I am ready to hit it again).
Thanks for informing the younger generation, and please don't take this as a sign of disrespect. Just trolling the board and wondering what the rush is to get out of the work force.
