I intended to retire at 55 which would have been 2010. That goal was set at year 2000. Then 2008 market happened. I left the BIG job in 2011 to work part time and earn just enough to not have to touch the diminished retirement portfolio. Did that until Dec 2015 and retired then. I was 60.5 years old. But it didn't last more than 6 months.
I got talked into working part-time for a respected non-profit. I'm still doing that. So I can't claim to rightfully post on this thread. I waffle about quitting for good. Friends and family do not believe I'll go cold turkey and they may be right. I get satisfaction using my skills for meaningful work and getting paid for it.
