I have been doing a lot of research on retirement lately. I could probably write an entire encyclopedia by now...
I have read that one of the biggest regrets of retirement, is retiring too late. They wished they retired earlier. I understand that regret if someone works longer because they do not have the financial ability to retire, and wished they could have retired earlier.
I also understand the mentality of people that work until 67+ and wished they left the workforce earlier, after all, the time remaining is greatly diminished.
There is always the OMY syndrome, which I am in now (303 days left...). I do think it puts a final cap on me ever having to worry about any finances. And it will provide a much better lifestyle than I live now. I am sure others see their OMY that way too. I am already wishing I retired earlier, and I am not yet retired…
Of the retirees here that could have retired sooner than they did (~55 or younger), do you wish you pulled the plug earlier??
What did you learn after you retired that would have impacted your decision to leave the workforce earlier, if you knew it?
How much earlier would you have left?
