This question may seem strange.
I'm FI now and thinking of RE within the next two years or less. Financially is not an issue. My hesitation is.... What will I do? Will I regret it? Will I miss work?
Brief bio.... 51, wife is sahm, down to the last kid in high school, one out of college, the other in last two years of college. I enjoy putzing around, gym, tennis, whatever.
I figure my fallback is that if I'm bored or regretful I could always work again, part or full time. Maybe for less coin than I'm making now but, it wouldn't really matter since I'm FI now.
I've read many posts here and everybody is thrilled to be early retired, and frankly, I get it. It would seem one would be crazy to not enjoy being out of the rat race.
What, am I nuts, why don't I just pull the trigger today and call it a career? Maybe I am nuts.
Is there anybody out there that regretted it? If so, what do you think you did wrong? That could help a fella like me out from making a mistake either in planning or execution on the big RE. Even second hand info is most appreciated!
Thanks!!
