Door #1 for me. I had originally planned on retiring at 50, w*rking for the same company my entire career, but instead I FIRE'd at 47. At 50 I would have had more pension and employee health benefits. But the Megacorp which I worked for thought otherwise. One moment, I was a steady employee all my career, the next moment several from my department get an email, "if you choose to stay employed, congrats...you are now outsourced..you are now a contractor." I could have tried roughing it out 3 more years to reach 50. But when I spoke to my heart of hearts, 3 more years felt like 30 more years in an unpleasant enviroment. So I decided to call it a career and set myself free!
