LOL - It sounds like they are. They like travelling with Bruno.
I am curious - what is the cutoff for "OK" to be retired? 40? 50? What about 39?
I'm asking this as an intellectual exercise.... I assume my retirement age (52) met the approved range for ER. As others have mentioned - this is the **EARLY** retirement forum. I thought we were supportive of people wanting to retire early. But apparently there is some magic age that makes it ok vs too early.
Now the FI side of FIRE.... I agree they cut it closer than I would.... but most people here are saying they aren't retired (vs FI)... and seem to be focusing on their age, saying they haven't worked enough.
So - what is the magic age? I think we should decide and then put it in the FAQ's about ER thread.
If they hadn't purchased that house with some of that $1 million they might have pulled early retirement off.
Work 2 more years and pay cash for a killer house. But no they saw a unicorn.
or probably going back to work was really part of the plan.
I say at any age below age 40 with 2 million free and clear to live off for life would qualify early retirement.
