Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Curious as to when you retired? 57
Was it a good decision or should you have waited? Good decision because we were comfortably FI. However, sabbatical and then an encore career were just as viable if not more than conventional retirement. After almost 2 years I haven't been tempted to pursue an encore career, but I won't rule out working again at something I truly enjoy (not in my old industry).
Or should you have done it sooner? Nope.
But when someone else retired would have no bearing on my decision, especially at this forum of select early retirees. YMMV
