Since I don't know what the age for early retirement is, I don't know if I qualify.
My wife and I are retiring after 39 or 40 years in public and private education. My wife is/was a kindergartern teacher and I'm a counselor educator. We will have a planned benefit pension worth about 80% of my current income until I die whenever that is, and social security will bring it up to more than I make now(they will not be happy if I live to age 94). My wife will have a small SS pension. We are moving into a big house and will welcome all new friends and family who have either been to Acadia National Park and love it, or who want to see it. We own the house now and by the time we move we will have no mortgage. My wife fully expects to find a nursery school or kindergarten job and probably will considering her experience level at all levels from base teacher to management. I might plan on working at the local mental health facility, or not. I'm quite qualified for many of the available listed jobs.
We will have other assets enough to do some renovations on the house and still have a nest egg, and some future inheritance will increase the nest egg considerably.
We have two kids who live far away, one in grad school at Notre Dame about 3/4 of the way to his PhD in nuclear physics, and one in San Francisco working for a famous publishing company non-profit. No grand children yet.
Both of us are pretty healthy and don't take any medications for anything. We expect to continue avail ourselves of the hiking on MDI.
