FTP; what the others are trying to say, is don't post a link, without a synopsis or short critique of the article. That is SOP on this forum.
Here's my synopsis, for those who don't like to follow links for some reason, or who would rather that someone else do the reading for them:
Why put off retiring if you don't have to? 5 reasons to retire as early as you can
1. Putting off retirement can be risky
Here the author starts off with the obvious truism: "you don't know how long you'll live or how long you'll remain relatively healthy and active." Then they conclude with "For this reason alone, it's worth being more aggressive in saving for retirement, to build a fat nest egg sooner rather than later."
I have no idea what connection this has with "risky" or retiring as early as you can. Perhaps they needed to pad their word count in order to get the article published.
2. You hate your job
The author talks about how bad it is on your health if you have chronic stress and seems to imply that you will always have chronic stress if you hate your job.
Happily, they tell us that (shockingly) there is a solution to hating your job that doesn't actually involve retiring! "Retiring from a job you hate doesn't necessarily mean retiring from work altogether. It might just mean looking for, finding and switching to a different job – perhaps in a field you've always wanted to try."
Interesting that the term "retiring from a job" is used here. I guess that lets it fit in the article, and thus lets the author get paid.
3. You can be very productive in your retirement years
Here, the author talks about getting a different job (is that really retiring?) or volunteering.
I'm having a hard time imagining a reader thinking "Wow! I just leared that I should retire as early as I can because I can be very productive once retired!" Maybe that's just me.
4. You can avoid running out of money with annuities
Oh yeah. Now we get to the meaty part of the article. You could spend whatever money you have accumulated prior to retiring as early as you can on annuities! You'll never run out! Of course not ever running out isn't the same as always having enough. If I never spend that lucky penny I have tucked in my shoe, I'll never run out, either.
They do provide a fun table though that shows how you can get up to $14,256 per year via an annuity. Of course in their example you must wait until you are 75 to purchase the annuity. Is that really retiring as early as you can?
5. It's not worth delaying Social Security
Another gem: "It can be smart to delay, but that's not the best move for everyone".
I'm stunned. Such wisdom.
