Re: What age did you retire?
I retired at 49/50 and wanted to retire at 53. I actually wished I could have retired at 53.

Re: What age did you retire?
I plan on mid 30's. Maybe a little sooner, maybe a little later, but most likely some time in my 30's.

Re: What age did you retire?
Stopped working at 45, but they keep paying me. If I can get the contract/FLSA issues resolved before February 3rd I will be officially retired at 47 - almost 48.

Re: What age did you retire?
8) 
Began the planning at 43,
50 was the earliest possible age to receive any minimal payout.
Just made goal at 50.75
although the 3/4 was well worth it on paper, both in payout and tax savings.
