Dryer sheet wannabe
While not "early" by any measure on this forum, I happily retired from federal service at age 64 on May 31, 2018. I pulled the plug the same month my youngest son graduated from college, coinciding with my 64th birthday.
We all have to decide when that time is right. I'm late to the "early retirement" party, but darn glad to be here! I will draw down IRA's and await "full retirement" age 66 before applying for Social Security.
Retired: U.S. Air Force (1995)
Retired: Commonwealth of Virginia (five years service) 2004
Retired: U.S. Government (Federal Employee Retirement System, 2018)
Bob (Happily not commuting to Washington DC)!
