Thanks.
I also qualify for UK healthcare if needed. (I would have to go and live in the UK, declaring residency on arrival and start paying UK taxes)

Age 51, retired at age 41, and a total of 24 working years. (That counts digging ditches on a golf course plus the four years I was paid to attend college.) I'm receiving a military pension.Curious to hear everyone's current age, projected/goal retirement age, and total number of years worked when you hit your retirement age, and also if you are expecting a pension of any sort. For total number of years worked, I'm counting career years, not the gigs during high school or college.
I think the intent might have been to get separate posts up for people yet to retire (in the Young Dreamers forum) and people already retired (in this forum).
Started a new business in June 2011 so I call myself semi-retired now-- work a couple of hours per day.
And if you look at the other thread you'll see how well that strategy worked out. Don't beat yourself up...Not sure why you posted the same query in two forums...I think the intent might have been to get separate posts up for people yet to retire (in the Young Dreamers forum) and people already retired (in this forum).
I'm curious about those of you that are FIRE:
How many years of working (in your career, not high school or college gigs) did you log before you retired?
How old were you when you retired?
And lastly, did you get a pension?
Mostly I'm curious about what ages early retirees retire at... And the pension- I see lots of articles about people that qualified for a pension and were able to retire. I haven't had such luck to find a pension. So it's good old savings for me...

That's my kind of business. Mind if I ask what it is?
