I'd like to hear your comments on this article and those like it. I will retire between 55-60 so early (but not early enough for me) and my first reaction is really what is the difference the years make for the reasons quoted. The same issues could/would be there after 60 maybe moreso. I do agree about the planning But I'm not expert since I still work. But there are lots of folks here who are experienced

My immediate advice to someone who is planning to retire between 55 and 60 would be to not do it. However, if you are both willing and able, you may find retiring early takes more planning and work than staying in the workplace longer.

So, before you retire, do some careful planning that goes well beyond financial security. ... What will you be pursuing to give you a daily sense of purpose?

What will you do to translate that dividend of time into quality life years, not just time off?
