Any 3%ers out there?
Found this interesting graph. Just curious if there are any "3%ers" out there that retired before age 54 and never went back to work.

Not before, but waited until I was 54 which is in the 3%. That was important as within that calendar year I turned 55 which gave me more options with my 401k for withdrawals. [emoji41]

There are lots of forum members who fit into that category! I'm not one of them, since I retired at 61.
I would have loved to retire earlier! Oh well. I'm retired now and enjoying every minute of it.

Happily retired since 2009, at age 61. Best years of my life by far!

The graph looks depressing. I want to retire at 58. It looks like that I will be in the 17% category, which makes me feel strange. I want to be with the flow.

We were under 50 (47) so I guess that makes us 1%ers.

That still is early even for this forum. The average age is more like 56/57.
Congrats.
